Hi guys,

I was lucky enough (with the help of a friendly member from Beoworld, to get my hands on a Beogram 5500.
This is my first tangential deck and it was a magic moment to see it move after repairing it (again with the help from Beoworld). I've paid it cheap, and as Dillen used to say once "since you saved money on the deck, you can invest on the cartridge". And this what i wantto do. Sianec my financial wingspan is still limited I 'm aiming at an MMC4, lets say around 250 euros max shipping included. 

I've read a lot in this forum and now I must say I'm a little lost: lots of advices but also old and some solution not available anymore. The three solution i've found are:

1-Soundsmith SMMC4 - Around 200 Euros shipping Inclued.
Looks perfect, but I've read good and bad about them. And the fact they dont accept returns makes me uncomfortable (not to mention the harsh way they have to justify this).

2-tonabnehmerservice - MMC5 restored but seems to have MMC4 specs - 225 Euros S.I.
Again, I've read good and bad. Seems to be a former partner from the famous Axel, but no track of an actual client of him on BW.

3-Pickupandneedles - more than 300 Euros. I dont know what to think of them. No tracks either.

My listening need are average: sit down from time to time, put a record, watch the deck move and enjoy the music. I'm not a apecialist nor need stellar performance. But i would also like to make a good choice to enjoy this the best i can.

Thanks to anyone who will help.
