I received my first turntable today...an MMF-5 I purchased on Ebay. Anyway, I went about setting it up and after getting the tonearm balanced realized there isn't a stylus in the cartridge.
I did some searching on-line for a replacement stylus for the 1012gx and it looks like it's around $225 for just the stylus.
Is this accurate? If so, would make more sense to just upgrade the cartridge or should I suck it up and buy a replacement stylus for 1012gx? During my research before buying the tt I read a lot of comments here that the 1012gx is a great value so I'm not sure if it's worth replacing.
I'm brand new to vinyl and turntables so please pardon my ignorance. Anyway, any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I was so excited to get the tt today and want to get it up and running ASAP.
Thanks,
Ken
