upgrade dilemma between two turntables!

Posted by Kenpoguy on June 29, 2020 at 09:39:40:
Greetings; I just found this awesome forum! I have two turntables that need to be fixed, but only can fix one at this time. My Thorens TD 160 needs a new cartridge, and my Music Hall MMF5 needs a new stylus. I guess the real question is which table will sound better in my system. the MMF5 has a Goldring 1012GX. I would probably end up spending around $300 on a new cartridge for the TD 160. associated equipment is a Creek OBH phono preamp, Outlaw Audio receiver, and KLH model Nine speakers. I know my system is not very balanced, but it is what I have been able to put together. any advise will help tremendously. Thank you.
