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

Bombaywally's info is good, and things are more complicated than that, Artemus 5, as there are synergy issues with preamps, amps and speakers as well. To do the calculations yourself, there's a really easy website which puts it for you on a graph, so all you have to do is add the weight of the cartridge to the tonearm, check againt the compliance, and follow the zone colours: if you're in the green, then you're OK! The website is at http://www.vandenhul.com/artpap/phono_faq.htm. Go to the very bottom of the page, you can't miss it. If you have an itch, and science says it's OK, then I say go for it! Of course, if someone out there has actually tried it, then as Bombaywalla says, that's a good thing. I'm an impulse creature.
