| Cartridge for an old GRACE 707? Hi Captain,is it safe to ass-u-me the micro acoustics 20 is a high-er compliance cart. I guess it must be if you were satified with it on your 707. Bart | |

| AR Turntables as a starter table? Bcowen, Bravo! Thanks, I logged onto the merrillaudio.com site and spent the next half hour exploring the entire site. Looks like if I can find a reasonably priced 'table, the new sub-chasis etc. might be a good way to go. Rega's web site is curre... | |
