Music Hall MMF 7.3 Question

Same question every week from different users of cheap belt drive turntables. 

Some killer cartridges for your Music Hall:

Stanton 881s mkII or 980 
Pickering XSV-3000 or 4500 
Victor X-1IIe or X-1II
Audio-Technica AT-ML-150 OCC or AT-ML170
Grace F-9 or F14 
Garrott P77 or P77i 
Audio-Technics AT15SL or  AT20SLa 


*How much are you willing to spend on a cartridge ? 

Those cartridges hit within my budget. I just want to have some fun with vinyl and enjoy my limited vinyl collection.

@samzx12  Let me add this link again, the article is very interesting, not new, but still valuable to learn MM vs MC subject. It's about MM that sounds like Mastertape, people who made such statement are professional mastering/cutting engineers. You can't go wrong with Stanton or Audio-Technica models from that article. 

There is a nice Graphite Mat produced by 47 Labs in Japan, it's lightweight and fine for belt drive turntables. They call it "The Mat" and it's the latest incarnation of the famous Boston Audio Mat (you will find tons of reviews). 

Ok smart azz...the mmf-7.3 costs just as much as your beloved and much over rated dj, not to mention fugly, technics.

My turntables are Luxman PD-444 (two of them), Victor TT-101 and Denon DP-80 if you didn’t get it yet.

I sold my beloved Technics long time ago, it wasn’t the SL1200 series you are referring too !!! Actually only one tonearm cost $5000

I recommend new and cheaper Technics for those who wish to buy a great “made in Japan” turntable under $1000 (or under $1700) !

There is NOTHING better at this price on the market today since Technics returned with $4k SL1200GAE and intoduced SP10R and then made SL1200G, GR (for $1700) and Mk7 (for $900)... all with super powerful and precise/stable coreless direct drive motor and great (fully adjustable) tonearms with detachable headshell!

At certain age it’s too hard to understand (or too late to discover) something you never tried before and won’t try today.

But my posts about Technics addressed to other people, not to you with your overpriced belt drive toys and almost zero knowledge about Japanese direct drive turntables and tonearms.

A person who associate Technics only with DJ turntables is know nothing c.....t
