Lol! It's actually pretty good, Mark, if using an MM cartridge - providing of course one likes MM cartridges...

Indeed, Dave. As you know, I own a few MMs (one of which sounds more fluid and 'airy' than any other MM I've heard) and very much enjoy what they do
However, for those who covet the particular brand of musical magic top-notch moving coils can produce, there *is* no substitute! Marco.

As long as I know MK5 & MK2 share the same arm. But, maybe, you mean the MG5, not the MK5...

Pipe cleaner tweak
I presume l remove the two bolts on the underside of the arm near the headshell connector, if l could use a screwdriver small enough l would not have to remove the tonearm, then pull the connector out?
