RE: MM vs MC is MC THAT much better?

Posted by DaveV on December 29, 2016 at 08:21:27:
Having been through all that, "better" to me is the cartridge that sounds the best to me in my system.

I've had love affairs with both MC and MM and the choice at the time sometimes depended on other changes to my system.

If it was as simple as just trying another cartridge in your existing arm on your existing table with your existing preamp, there would be a real reference but that's not the case so your deeper into "synergy land" and the quest to make any given cartridge "sing."

Having tried three MC's that were all the rage, I liked one, thought one was just OK and couldn't imagine how anyone could listen to the third because it sounded so dull. Kind of like your tweeters were disconnected.
