Looking for some advice here. Which front end would you chose...VPI MKIII/Sumiko MMT/Grado Sonata or Linn LP12/Linn Ittok/Linn Karma? Either of these turntable combinations would be running through a MFA Magus. Thanks for you help.
Macdadtexas, the VPI HW-19 frontend is in my current system. The Linn combination is available at a local dealer so the cartridge switch is not an option.
Years ago I had a Grado with a MMT and I would blow woofers often,the arm will resonate right out of the groove (Grado dance). I love Grado but you have to match with right tonearm and the MMT is not.
Yogiboy, thank you for your comment. I have not experienced the problem you mention with my current cartridge or with the older model Grado which I replaced. Interesting???
I have had good luck with Denon 110/160 and AT 440 cartridges on the MMT arm. The Grado would not be my pick, unless (possibly) you were going to change to a different tonearm.
