Cartridge suggestions mmf-7.1


I have a new music hall mmf-7.1 with the lo version of the eroica . though not bad, there is something missing. i'm contemplating moving up to a vpi scout or rega p5. least i believe it would be a move up. before i do, should i try a different cartridge? dynavector, or something? the phono stage is a pro-ject tube box seII.

Yes I suggest the Denon 301 II from japan or the Denon 103r if you have a MC phonoamp capable of it, and as above I agree on the little big lower weight, I would go up to about 8 grams on anything, but you will get to a point that you will need to order the Heavyweight from Sumiko in california, the stock weight I believe is 60 grams, the heavyweight for that are is 90 grams and can take on bigger carts.. Like the ZU modded Denon for example. Ortofon Kontrapunkt series carts are really good on that table, but pretty expensive at over 1000 bucks for most models and they get a tad on the heavy side at 10.5 grams.
Surprised nobody mentioned Sumiko Backbird.Right price but I'd check mass and compiance as Jpendleton menioned.Ortofon is good but at price I'd look at Dynavector line.Call Bess Nivera at Music Direct and tell him chazz sent 'ya.He has it all including your deck,Grado,Benz,Sumiko,Ortofon,etc and has heard every combo possible.Sold buddy a Dynavector instead of others because he said at price point is was smoother across bandwith at price point
