Yes, an MMC4 (or any MMC from 1 to 5) would fit your Beogram 6500, and it is quite likely that the poor sound quality is because the suspension in your old cartridge has failed. If you look closely at the stylus at rest, does it exit the body of the cartridge straight and centered in the opening?

The original idea of the MMC cartridges was that they are integrated with the stylus, and are always replaced as a unit. However, Axel Schürholz (I'd rather prefer - perhaps himself as well - that people referred to his services with the company name, schallplattennadeln.de, however awkward it might to spell ) is able to replace the suspension and stylus with a new one.

I noted that cartridge you're referring to myself as well. I think it is a little pricey, especially since the seller doesn't say which stylus was installed, as the prices vary. You probably have an MMC2 in your Beogram now? You could just as well send it to be repaired to the same place and probably have a better end result. Prices start at 89,- for the simplest, spherical needle. I chose an elliptical for mine and I'm quite happy with it. At least never throw away your old cartridge!

Hello!

I found a mmc4 for sale locally , would it fit?

i have a white beosystem 6500 wich i love and have just got intersted to listen my old vinyls. The sound quality is rather poor so i was thinking mabye i need to do something?

so could it be just the needle and can it be changed separately or is always with the cartridge??

I found a relatively cheap old mmc4 that has been repaired in Schurholz?????

Hope someone finds the time to share ones expertise.

Thank you very much!
