| New Pioneer PLX-1000 Turntable - Need recommendation for MM Cartridge and Mat SAEC SS-300 solid mat is excellent for Pioneer platter.

| Fidelity Research FR7F history/changes @totem395 you never owned FR-7 series, because you don’t even know about SEALED SUSPENSION, clever design from Ikeda-San. This cartridge NEVER suffer from suspension problem! Never ever!NOS sample of the FR-7f (or fz) is a Holy Grail! :) | |
| A pitch too High! Since platter level can affect anti-skating, it's important to do this first (Also buy a blank record to verify anti-skate response. I found that my Technics 1200G anti-skate dial is close to being accurate but very slightly over compensates).Anti... | |
