Hi Eddaytona,I can help you since I do this all the time on my MMF 7. First you need to take the tension off of the anti-skate mechanism by removing the weight string from the loop, just let the weight rest on the plinth. You should have received ...

Try some Fabreeze. That stuff is awesome. Just a little spritz on each side should do the trick. 
Best way to upgrade from a MMF9
Hi John,I am a MMF7 owner. I am not certain of the arm on your MMF9 but if it is similar to the MMF7's Pro-ject arm, which I think it is, then there is a definite limit to the cartridges that you can use, i.e. forget about any of the low complianc... 
MMF 7 help
I'll wager Sean is right on the money. I have not found any low ouput MC that will work well with the arm on MMF 7 because most of these cartridges are low compliance and the Pro-ject arm does not seem suited for low compliance cartridges. I would... 
Which sub $1k phono stage to go?
Flemke,Start looking into modifying your 834P. You have time, there is no hurry and in the mean time you are getting to know the sound. Once you do modify your unit you will really appreciate how much performance you have purchased.

Thanks for the correction TWL! Yes, I did confuse that one. What I think I was remembering about the 103 is that it is not low compliance. It is getting harder and harder to keep up with what I am thinking about at any given time, or so my wife ke...

Sorry Rsbeck,Digital is just information, not music. :) I do still use my ceedee player from time to time. It helps remind me just how good my $1700 analog front end sounds.

Budrew,Save some coin and build your own record cleaning machine.http://www.teresaudio.com/haven/cleaner/cleaner.htmlA very decent MM cartridge is the Shure v15vxmr. I have heard that one can be had for less that $300 but I can't give you a pointe... 
would you bother?
Just over a year ago I bought my first TT and LP in over 15 years. I now have close to 500 LPs. I still think it was worth the effort. I had almost given up on high-end systems as the digital stuff was just not involving enough to keep me interest... 
What's your favorite lyric from a song?

Music Hall MMF 7 tweak that woke my system up
I have received a few emails about how I did this on the MMF 7 so I decided to reply here. Please feel free to add to or recommend changes to this procedure.First a word of caution. I have an advantage in that my Shure cartridge has a removeable s...

Budrew,You threw almost the worst possible conditions at your analog components and it seems that you and your wife still prefered the TT to the ceedee. As these other guys have said just image what sound you could be getting from analog with just...
