Miracord 50H Turntable

My dad had a Miracord 50H turntable. Unfortunetly, he recently passed away and the turntable has been offered to me. I know little about it in regards to quality and recommendations as to what cartridges might be a good match. I have been looking to get a turntable and thought this would be useful for the time being. My pre-amp is an Audible Illusions Modulus 3A. The amp is McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe with a Revision A Gold uprade and my speakers are Thiel 3.6's. Any help out there? Thanks.

Thanks for the responses. Because it was my Dad's, I would never get rid of it even when I do upgrade. I'll spend whatever I need to now to improve it. It's in excellent condition and I look forward to listening to it.

I too fully endorse the Elac Miracord and Grado products. I have put Elacs up against the so called high end tables and have found them to be equal or superior as observed on my tube driven Altec VOTT's.

As far as rumble goes, simply keeping the idler wheel properly conditioned works well for me. Granted, the Miracords don't have the sex appeal of the pricy "salon" tables but sound great and will keep your vinyl in nice shape provided its properly maintained.

i had a Miracord in the old days with a Stanton 681EE cartridge that brought me great pleasure. If the table is in good condition, it will bring smiles to you as well.
