best cartridge for MMF-7, stock tonearm,below1000

any of the dynavector carts. are excellent choices for the scoutmaster.

Go to www.hwsound.com Larry at Hollywood sound is very helpful and will not over sell you. The 10X5 was better than a Bens Glider series 1, he helped me a lot on my MM7.

Do not overlook the excellent value represented by a new Scheu Premier II table. I was quoted 2200 landed for a Premier II with Scheu 12" classic unipivot arm mounted INCLUDING shipping to California from Germany. A real deal; performance up there with the best. Scheu also offers a very attractive model called the Cello. With a RB250 arm it is about 1200 landed. Buy it without an arm and it is a few hundred less; mount your own arm. Great table if you want to stay around a grand. It uses the same bearing as the more expensive Premier.

I just bought a VPI HW19 Mk III on A'gon and feel that it is a great table for the money these are selling for now on the used market.

If you could find a MK IV for under $1,000 with a good tonearm you'd be getting $2,000+ worth of excellent table for $900 or so.

The Scoutmaster is a great table I'm sure, but the price would be twice what a used HW 19 Mk IV would run you.
