| Horrible Squee-gy Noise from Stylus I checked everything, set up is fine, stylus tip appears to be fine to me. cleaned it, still the same awful sound, sounds like it may even be damaging the record.So bummed out. I dont really think I'm gonna have the money to replace it with a cart... | |
| Geffen Records lp's I have the weezer blue album which was originially recorded and released under geffen, there was a Geffen Release and a Universal release, neither sounded as good as the CD. depends on the time frame for the releases I guess. Geffen, probably like... | |
| Horrible Squee-gy Noise from Stylus The table is only a few weeks old, I'll contact the distributor to check on warranty. How do I determine if the "diamond-tip" still exists? Will I need a magnifing glass or can it determine just from un-aided visual inspection? The turntable commu... | |
| Horrible Squee-gy Noise from Stylus I will give that treatment a shot. I just bought the table and it was working great, dead silent, couldnt have been happier, nothing has happened to the table (no droping the arm on the record, etc). I'm really bummed, my first big purchase. I'm o... | |

| Help Me Justify Recent MMF7 purchase To those who suggested the cartridge upgrade--this is probably the area that I know the least about. The cartridge supplied by MH is a Goldring, and it seems like a significant upgrade for me already--compared to the $40 Audio Technica I was dragg... | |
| Help Me Justify Recent MMF7 purchase Thanks for all the responses. I'm very happy with it so far. The paired Goldring cartridge was pre mounted so I would like to think it was set up properly. The music is what I'm in it for, but I really wanted a table to enhance the experience so t... | |
| Help Me Justify Recent MMF7 purchase Right on. Your posts in other threads are actually why I posted this. Thanks for the heads up. I'm open to any opinion, I'm obviously going to give the MMF7 its fair chance, but I'll certainly consider the SL1200 with some KAB mods if the mmf7 doe... |
