Wish I could, but this model only uses a P-Mount cartridge, and If I remember correctly (please let me know if I'm wrong), this TT can only go that way...

Thank you for your feedback!

Cheers...

There are (were) a few P-mount MC cartridges, but you would be better off getting a new turntable that will give you much more cartridge flexibility ... not to mention better sound quality. P-mount tonearms were great for entry-level users because they required no azimuth alignment, vertical tracking angle, stylus force or anti-skating adjustments (because P-mount cartridges were all pretty much a standard size and weight) ... convenient, but only basic performance. As for linear tracking, there are theoretical advantages ... especially for CD-4 playback ... but the overall performance of entry-level models is mediocre at best, especially when you toss in the additional limitations of P-mount cartridges.
