I have a MMF9 and had a somewhat similar problem. I called Roy Hall at Music Hall. The problem was in the tracking. You may have to fiddle with it a little beyond the suggested settings. Also, I recall Mr. Hall stating, that when given a choice, he listens in the MM mode.
MMF 7 help
I have just set up a slightly used MMF 7 and I have a sound issue.
I set up the tone arm to the manuals specifacations, the cart was already mounted and used from the previous owner.
I have it running into a Carver Classic tube preamp into the MC RCA jacks of the phono stage of the preamp.
I have used this pre before and it sounded fine.
I put on a Classic Records Sara M. and it sounds like she is "underwater".
So, I put on Stevie Ray Vaughn and same thing.
Its hard to explain the sound as any more than underwater. Kinda gurgly on mid notes. I dble checked all connections, it is grounded right, the stylis is clean and so on.
I dont know where to start on the troubleshooting.
