Cartridges for Grace 707
I'll just bet that he found a cartridge by now. 
a strange noise now coming from my tube amp

Any decent TTables with a semiautomatic arm
There's a plethora of reasonably priced, new, manual tables out there, that will outperform the old tables, soundwise. Your Ortofon would be compatable with the majority. Whether you were to choose one of those, or to continue to use your present ...

Mr P- Your first sentence makes too much sense for those, "many" to accept. Again: 'The Effect' at work in them. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect) (http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/evolved-primate/201006/when-ignoranc...

Mr P- There are many on this site that need no experience with anything, to know that something does not/can not function as claimed, or- as others have observed. A prime example of 'The Dunning-Kruger Effect' at work.
