| Turntable set up HELP I had a very similar problem once. Took me days to figure it out. I'm not saying this guy did something similar, but it was a lesson in humility. I had sat my brush on the plinth, just next to the pivot of the tone arm after cleaning a record and ... | |
| What makes for a "great" turntable? I dont have perfect pitch as Newbee might, but I certainly can hear pitch modulation as well. mostly on poor pressings of some indie rock favorites of mine. It doesnt destroy my experience though. I favor a turntable that isolates vibration, and a... | |
| Budget Cartridge: Grado Green vs Ortofon 2M Red I received the 2M Red today, and just got it set up a little bit ago. I'm busy burning it in right now. Through an MMF7 with stock Pro-ject arm and wiring. (My first experience with setting up a cartridge, I found it to be a simple but potentially... | |
| What piece of music can you play over & over? It's a short vignette, but its stops me dead when I hear it, everytime, and I never get tired of it. Artist: SouthSanGabrielPiece: Jornada Del Muerto #20Album: Dual HawksI listen to a lot modern avant garde instrumental stuff so I also chooseArtis... | |
| Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s I would look back and question the technology that existed for actually tracking bass in the 60-70's. First, the bass guitar itself was just barely becoming its own instrument at the time. The bass was being developed from a stand up hollow-body i... | |
| DIY? How to get feet wet? Jon, Thanks for the positive info. I'd read some information that complained about the cramped set up of the foreplay and that it was hard to solder everything because of it. Any comments there? Glad you like it! | |
| Budget Cartridge: Grado Green vs Ortofon 2M Red Yeah, I wish I'd been able to spring for something like the AT150, I just wanted to keep it at the 100 mark out respect for the fact that I'm working through a warranty issue with a Goldring Eroica and I thats going to be my primary machine when i... | |

| DIY? How to get feet wet? What is the likely-hood of one of theses things starting a house fire? I had a nightmare last night that I raised my house to the ground after building a pair of mono-blocks and one of them caught fire while I was away at work. | |
| Budget Cartridge: Grado Green vs Ortofon 2M Red Are you refering to the Goldring Elan? I pulled the trigger on the Red 2M. I'm a sucker for the new packaging of old technology. I've heard it sounds "divine" though. We'll see. I'm personally not sold on uber expensive cartridges just yet, consid... | |
| DIY? How to get feet wet? Thanks for all the responses. I used to play in a touring band, and I would regularly fix cables, bias amps, and trouble shoot tube amp problems. Sounds like I could build one of these things if they are as point-and-shoot as they sound. speaking ... | |
| Horrible Squee-gy Noise from Stylus Thanks for the insight into warranty claims, Nsgarch. I will certainly keep good records. Sounds like this is getting into a whole other topic. Obviously I'll do what I have to, and I'm waiting to hear back from both, Leland at MH and the Dealer. ... | |
| Horrible Squee-gy Noise from Stylus Right on guys. I'll work with the dealer today. So, far all my contact has been via email so I have some trial of who I was referred to etc. I would think MH would be really willing to help, right along with the dealer -- we arent talking about us... | |
| Horrible Squee-gy Noise from Stylus The system: MMF7 w/ Goldring Eroica, Marantz 2215b, Infinity RS5I set up my old technics table as well, the problem is not present in that set up. the sound problem is not feedback. I'm concerned now that the MMF7 and cartridge is damaging my reco... | |
| Horrible Squee-gy Noise from Stylus If anyone would be willing to come look at my set up that would be very helpful. I live in Newport, KY. Very near Cincinnati, OH. Its a modest system, but it keeps me really happy.I will certainly keep you guys informed of any improvements/develop... |
