Morel drivers are really good too http://www.morelhifi.com/products/raw_drivers.html specifically the model MDM 55, I have a friend in New York who replaced all 8 of his Nokia midrange drivers with Morel MDM 55 drivers, you have to remove the square flange to fit them into the Penta holes left by the Nokia units though he went mad and bought more Morel

[quote user="Peter "] Debatable about cartridges - I think the limiting factor here is the deck. I have a 7000 (same basic deck ) and have a MMC2 in it. Slightly less prone to sibilance but the MMC cartridges have a very typical B&O sound. I would get a SMMC4 from Soundsmith if you want to upgrade - excellent cartridge. [/quote] I think

was the BM5500 you compared the BM5000 without the capacitors that Tim Jarman suggests should be removed ?
