Push and move th... | |
| Just Snagged a Micro Seiki DD-35 - Need Help With Affordable Cartridge Options for SM-505 For some reason, I couldn’t get a Numark cartridge to fit on the SM-505. It fit in well, but not fully set into the tone arm and there was no locking mechanism. Do you mean something like Numark CC-1 or this one ? Both are better in recycle bin th... | |
