Horrible Squee-gy Noise from Stylus

Fighting,
Please let us know what's happening once you figure it out.
Good luck.

If anyone would be willing to come look at my set up that would be very helpful.

I live in Newport, KY. Very near Cincinnati, OH. Its a modest system, but it keeps me really happy.

I will certainly keep you guys informed of any improvements/developments.

Jay,

I'm in your area. Maybe I can help you. I'll try to send you an e-mail so we can talk.

Hmmm. If it makes music OK and you only hear the noise btwn tracks and on lead in that's a very different circumstance then I understood. The stylus is almost certainly on the cantilever, so it sounds to me like some sort of feedback or oscillation. Do you have any other sources? Is it present w other sources? What is the rest of your system?

The system: MMF7 w/ Goldring Eroica, Marantz 2215b, Infinity RS5

I set up my old technics table as well, the problem is not present in that set up. the sound problem is not feedback. I'm concerned now that the MMF7 and cartridge is damaging my records -- I played a brand new album last night, the first time I heard no sound (other than a little surface noise), played it again and its getting the scratchy sound.

I've quit playing the records all together, contacted the dealer, and they have referred me back to Music Hall -- checked my email this morning and Music Hall has referred me back to the dealer. How classic.

My first table cost 150 bucks used, lasted me 5 years with no issue, this one cause 10x that and it didnt make it a week. I'm sure you guys can understand the dismay.
