I had a MMF 5 and I was amazed at the improvement a Herbie's mat made. I don't usually fool around with changing mats and stuff, but on that tt, the mat made a huge improvement. Much deeper, tuneful bass and general smoothness. Just buy one and try it before you do anything. If you don't like it, Herbie will take it back. If you feel you have to buy a cartridge, go for the Goldring Eroica high-output MC. Very nice upgrade and it will work well in the arm you have. That's as far as I would go with that tt. Good luck.
effect of new cartridge
Hello all-----I currently have,for lack of a better phrase,an entry level turntable,the Music Hall 5.1. It comes standard with a Goldring 2200 cartridge. My question is--will upgrading the cartridge alone,without buying a whole new turntable,have a noticeable sonic improvement. I'm using a consonance PM phono pre- about $500 value---again I guess entry level and a Nordost dedicated phono cable.-Any thoughts on the value of replacing the cartridge would be appreciated..any suggestions as well
Thanks as always
