Hello Beoworlders, I have a small distortion problem with my newly aquired Beogram 8002 with an original MMC2 stylus. I have tried all kinds of tracking forces, even over the 2 gram mark, but there is still an awful lot of unwanted distortion. The arms are parrallel, the TT are working great(refurbished 9 years ago, never used scince). The TT plays wonderful with my father's MMC2, this rules out that the TT has anything to do with the distortion. I suspect the MMC2 for being too stiff in the suspension due to being stagnant all those years. I know that the PU has been used a little more than my Father's (the TT belonged to my uncle, he listened a little bit more to the vinyl back in the days), but the difference in soundstage is huge!
I have wondered if Axel also changes the rubber suspension when he is retipping a stylus? Should i order a new Soundsmith MMC instead?
