stylus

2 replies
my fairly newly aquired beocenter 7007 has a mmc5 stylus which i understand is pretty much the budget stylus for this unit (I think it is the orig stylus)...also vinyl just doesn't sound nearly as good as on my other B&O (beogram 1203 through a beomaster 901...which has its own problems thanks to poor packing by the ebay seller I bought it off)...is it worth investing in a soundsmith upgrade?  and how high should you go.  I do listen to a lot of vinyl so quality is important.  The prices do seem to increase exponentially tho.

thanks

The basic SMMC4 is extremely good. I would not bother going any further up the tree! It is quite a bit better than the original MMC4 .
