Hi All,

I put together a system back in the early 2000s and am looking at possible upgrades.

My MMF5 needs a new cartridge and stylus. Would my first upgrade be a new turntable, or would replacing those with something better than Grado Reds be a substantial improvement in and of itself.

I've enjoyed the Lynn's, but they are feeling slightly underpowered for my larger living situation.

The Marantz PM-17 has worked well for me, esp. with the built-in phono preamp.

That's my whole system, so there you have it :)

I have around 3,500 vinyl records across all genres, but featuring a lot of acoustical instrument recordings and jazz, and some rock/pop

Thanks in advance for any advice

Cheers,
John
