Is the Ortofon Kontrapunkt A compatible with MMF-7


The tonearm is a Project Nine.
I had an inexpensive Ortofon on a Technics back in the early eighties and was quite impressed with it. I'm getting an itch to try the Kontrapunkt on the 7 but am unsure of its compatibility. Thanks

You already know the truth, your MMF-7 is a very basic turntable that anything above a $90 mm cartridge is a waste of money. Unfortunately you have neither the arm nor the table to truly benefit from a high end cartridge.
Hammergjh, I was being kind calling the mmf7 basic, crap is what I really wanted to say. I wonder what you've been listening to if you call the mmf-7 fine and pretty good. But then again, to each his own!
Hammergjh, sonically there are plenty of things wrong with MMF, yes I realize its only a $1000, but $1000 dollars is still $1000 dollars. We're getting off the subject here, my initial comment was that spending the money on a fine cartridge like the Kontrapunkt isn't money spent wisely in this scenario. Imo Artemus is better off spending the money somewhere else in his system where he can have more benefit from his investment. What I don't understand is why people are huffing and puffing, its just my point of view.
