| Is the stylus dirty? Ach! Larry @ Hollywood Sound! He indeed is a very nice chap! When I lived in suburban Ft. Lauderdale, I bought my MMF5 from him. I requested him to put RCA jacks on the MMF5 & he did a splendid, clean & real pro job! I'd buy again from him... | |
| Best way to upgrade from a MMF9 Agree w/ Dougdeacon re. the Nott being a superior TT vs. the VPI. I have friend who owns a Spacedeck/Spacearm/Benz L2. I have heard his TT when he used to own the OL Silver 250 Mk1 w/ the Benz L2. Fantastic sound, which was considerably better tha... | |
| symphonic Line RG4 III vs RG4 IV? Gregm,Thanks for your feedback. Right now I'm dragging my feet on the mod, big time! I'm apprehensive that I might lose a good thing. I like the sound of the amp the way it is (it's not the be-all & end-all of amps but it's very, very good as-... | |

| Top phono cartrige to match jfrech's system ... The Cartridge Man Music Maker is a very high compliance MM cartridge - I think that it is >20um/mN - thus it will be a poor match for Jfrech's SME arm, which appears to be a medium-heavy tonearm.Similar reasoning for all Van den Hul cartridges.... | |

| MC or MM? Scubabiker,You ain't the 1st one to have criss-crossed the connections of a Grado Ref. cart & you will not be the last one either! My friend owns a Grado Ref. Sonata on his VPI Aries/JMW10 & he did exactly the same thing! Reason: the instr... | |
