unfairly roughed up

Hi John.

I agree with your reasoning ..even though my conclusions.are different. Intrinsically
i think mm are more honest but lack audiophile strengths. So good mm manufactures
tend to try and get more detail . Mc tends to be superficially better but tend to lack the homey honesty which mm ( including, believe it or not , clearaudio) gets easily. So the task for a good mc designer is to get more honesty . The lyra and ortofon people have improved the honesty of their mc offerings in last 8 years...even though they don't carry the easy grace of most mm. WHEN I Compared cartridges with singers i have heard many times live.. placido, Willie nelson, bb king .. i found the lyra titan and music maker cartridges to be closest to how I remember them. ( by the way . I dont think either of these cartridges represent mc or mm too well ) . I do think listening to sound can be misleading without a live reference.
