Since I am keeping my IFI Zen phono preamp I now have an option I never had before: moving coil cartridge.
MY TT is MFF 7 (basically a Project 9). It supposedly came with an Eroica H - I say "supposedly" because the shipping process was really poor when I bought the TT; first one had broken arm upon arrival, replacement had broken Eroica stylus, so I gave up and just ate the $$ loss for the defective cartrdige (now priced at $800+ !)
My budget is $300 or less. Am I too poor for a very good moving coil that can best a brand new Grado Gold (purchased long ago) on a Project 9?
