sumiko blue point vs budget MM

Posted by zarniwoop (A) on August 4, 2005 at 16:02:15

Newbie here:

Is the blue point/BP special worth looking into for a budget MC cart. that has enough output for a MM preamp?

I'm currently using cheap MM carts like linn basik and AT 95E (actually a 95E stylus on a basik cart.). This on a Rega Planar3, RB300 arm, tube amp, klipsch cornwalls. What other considerations are there besides output level and impedance?

I may possibly be DIY'ing a phono-pre that could be used for either variety, depending on what I decide would be best.

Sound is pretty decent right now. I'm not experienced enough to tell how cart. changes would affect things, overall.

I don't want a jazz or classical only cart. Rock/electronica will also be spun.

any suggestions or comments would be interesting to me :)
