of my Scout. Where the Dyna 20XL sang beautifully, the OC9 just sat there, screaming harshly. It definitely shared a "house sound" with it's AT MM brothers, the 440ML and 440ML/a. I hated them, too.
Surprisingly, the modest AT-120E/T I found to be a very warm, involving MM.

There's way too much of it out there to spend a long time fiddling with something that isn't doing the job.
Of course, sometimes after I get rid of something I wish I could have it back to try in a new situation, but then my house would look like a hi-fi pawn shop.
I agree! Some people are more sensitive to certain kinds of distortion that others. I could like with the AT MM sound, given the price, in the right setup, but prefer my Shure M97xe in my Grace 707. There are inmates her who can't stand the Shure. The only AT MC cartridges that I have worked with were Signet cartridges in the 80's, so it does not apply to the current crop.
"but then my house would look like a hi-fi pawn shop." Oops, my sound room kind of does!
