get a replacement mat non-felt, for the felt one that comes with the table. 
So my wife says to me this morning
Here’s the deal, the Dennon 103 is a great cartridge, but when using it on a unipivot arm you cannot hear all this cartridge can do. Installing it on the rega arm that has better lateral stability will enable the low compliance Dennon to work bett... 
More output from Analog set up, MC Transformer?
So far a good thread Even had a few laughs.David your opinion on the tranny will be interesting.by the way my shelter 501 .4mv into 60db gain (blackcube) is more that enough for me.peaceRon

Audio signs of record wear.

"The arm will ultimately depend more on your cartridge than your turntable"what he said, he nailed it!! 
Cart for VPI Scout? Blackbird, Ruby2H, Shelter 901
The 901 is the best of the bunch however you need a arm with good lateral stability and the JMW 9 being a unipivot is not the best match. You could use it on your arm for a while and maybe swap it out for an OL silver Tonearm at some point. That c...

It's Mr Clean Magic Eraser. Yes Sir thats the one for me.Check it out, many are now using the Magic Eraser with great results!! 
MH MMF-7 seems high/lean/bright sounding?
The VTF for the supplied cartridge should be factory set. The Shure vtf (vertical tracking force) stylus gauge is a good one. Set your cartridge the recommended vtf. Then as you say wait till the cartridge breaks in. Then just adjust your vtf slig...
