    Beogram 5005

    Hello,

    I just inherited a Beogram 5005 and was wondering if I can replace the cartridge with a MMC5?

    Thanks for any information.

    Yes. Any of the cartridges MMC1 - the best specified - to the MMC5 - the most basic - can be fitted. The Soundsmith SMMC4 is the usual cartridge advised these days but clearly that will be expensive.

    Hi nikkofan don't forget you will probably have to adjust the tracking weight to 1.5g. Simple to do, just (carefully) slide the plastic slider on the tonearm to correct setting on the graduations.

    Agree with Peter re:- SMMC4 though, lovely cartridge and a huge improvement on the MMC5.
