Cartridge suggestions mmf-7.1


I have a new music hall mmf-7.1 with the lo version of the eroica . though not bad, there is something missing. i'm contemplating moving up to a vpi scout or rega p5. least i believe it would be a move up. before i do, should i try a different cartridge? dynavector, or something? the phono stage is a pro-ject tube box seII.

Thanks for the replies. I was kinda thinking it was more the cart than the table. I have a digital gauge on the way, along with the zerodust. Already put a Herbies mat on. The table, along with all other components, is on an adona nemisis stand with the multi-element granite isolation platforms.

Which model Ortofon or Denon would you recommend? Oh, which protractor for setup?
Holy crap batman!!! I had carefully balanced the arm, then carefully set the ring on the weight to 0. Double checked the balance of the arm. Carefully adjusted the weight to the recommended 1.7g. Well, I just got the digital stylus gauge. After checking the calibration, I placed the stylus on the scale...... It read 2.343g's!!!!!! Didn't have time to do any listening yet, had to get back to work.

I suggest everyone that has an analog front end, get some sort of gauge. Apparently those "calibrated" rings on the weights, or the weight themselves, aren't all that....
