Music Hall 5.1 owners?


The "How good does a TT have to be for a good cartridge" thread got me thinking - with limited funds and experience, how would one best approach a cart upgrade for say, a Music Hall 5.1? Are there any owners of this table who have any suggestions or success stories?

I have a MMF 5. I'm not sure about the difference btw the two TT's. Yours has probably a better tonearm. Anyway, I just bought an expensive (at least for me) cartridge (aurum Beta S MK II Wood). I'll let you know if spending all this money was worthy (or just silly) as soon as I have it installed!
Yes, I believe the 5.1 has a better arm, though I'm not sure in what way. I would like to hear what you discover. Thank you for your response -
As mentioned above , I would like to know if the new 5.1 is actually capable of a cartridge upgrade from stock .
I have seen , in a couple of places , that the tonearm may not be of sufficient quality to take advantage of a cartridge such as a Grado Reference Sonata 1 or a Clearaudio Aurum Beta S Mk 2 .
Can anyone else speak to this point of view ?

Consider the Goldring Eroica MC. It comes hi or lo output and it works well with Pro-ject arms. It's actually pretty decent for the money.
Chayro;
So are you saying that this new 5.1 has a Pro-ject arm and
that it is worthy of a higher grade cartridge ?
Also your recommendation for the Goldring Eroica... what
will it sound like as compared to the stock Ortofon M3 (Magic 3) ?

Thank you
