Covering a naked platter- MMF 7 has no felt pad
Hello Pushpull, Sorry I did not see the second part of your question.I did not like the Erotic H and luckily broke it one day. For a lot cheaper you can do much better. YMMV.Check out Raul's long,long,long MM thread and ask for advise there. He is... 
Covering a naked platter- MMF 7 has no felt pad
I had the Herbie's on my MMF-7 and it was much better than the felt pad. If you spend more on a mat you might think about an upgrade on a table.Another idea might be the Music Hall mat and I just bought a Merrill-Scillia mat on Audiogon which I li... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hello Halcro, Image seems normal to me so far. Bigger than normal but I am adjusting to the Transfi arm which has moved everything to a whole new level.I hope this defect is not a trend. Was there a return period on these? The seller has a lot of ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hello Badcap, We were getting them from Italian EBAY but I just checked and there were no more at this time on that site. Sorry. There still are a few 412s and 410e cartridges. The person listing sold 30 or more 420s so he may have more to list la... 
Recordings with BASS
Lots of great suggestions. I will need to look up some of these. If I remember correctly Sumiko recommends a Bob Wasserman CD/LP with Jennifer Warnes called Duets for setting up speakers but I think the Donald Fagen SCAD of " Morph the cat" may be...

Pioneer DVD-V7400 as a transport: INCREDIBLE
Bought one today for my wife (yeah right) as a DVD player for $32 with 7 day return. Now I only need a DAC to go with it. I don't think she owns a DAC either. I better get looking.

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hello Timeltel/Halco,The Acutex 420 arrived today but currently listening to the Signet TK7lca. The 420s will have to wait their turn as I am really enjoying the distortions.(I must be in Raul's bottom 10%)You are all welcome for the Acutex tip. I...

From high end digital to beginners analog?
Hello Mike60, I got back into vinyl a few years back after a 20 year hiatus. I had saved my 2000 records from my past. It was the best move I made in my audio experience. For some reason, for me, the connection to the music is much better. How are...

Hello Lewn,If I remember correctly, if you keep scrolling down the page they show pictures of the cartridge in it's case.Can't help with the Italian. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hello Timeltel,I am currently listening to the Acutex 412 while waiting on the 420(less than 10 hrs). The 412 seems to be more analytical than its 312 cousin and is not missing any high frequency's . Does this trait hold true in the 4xxx vs the 3x...

Hello All, I just came across some Acutex 4xx cartridges on Classico Ebay. I think it is Italian. I am not sure of the details as the translation was rough on my end.
