I have recently aquired a beogram 5500. I already own a beomaster7000 and beocd7000.</p> <p>Am i correct in thinking that the 5500 is not compatible with the 7000 amp? and i will need to purchase a preamp?</p> <p>Second the stylus is missing from the mmc4 cartridge. Is there a solution to this? is a cartridge without stylus worth keeping?</p> <p>Thanks, always gratefull of everyones expert advise here.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
