I would immediately check the cartridge alignment with a proper cartridge protractor before anything else and check for correct effective length of the cartridge.The fact that the cartridge was already mounted by someone else and clean does not mean anything,unless of course tou have to replace it.
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.
