RE: MM vs MC is MC THAT much better?

Posted by mnawaz3@aol.com on December 29, 2016 at 16:46:15:
The big variable in mc...is the step up or head amp....unless it is compatible and of high quality... the music is going to damaged or sucked up..so it is much, much easier to get great sound with an mm than mc. I recommend grace ruby and music maker but there are others that are competitive. If you have a lot of money and time...you can try different step ups and head amps to match many mc till you get the right combination. My guess is about 25k and 5 years of experimenting till you get something more alluring (but plribably not better) than a good mm. In my experience. ...As a generaliZation...Mc have more refinement but usually are less well behaved ..and they tend to be both colorful and more colored. I tend to prefer mm for rock and blues...for classical I like mc. For jazz I usually go mm but not always. In Mc world , I like the Lyra titan a lot . But the cartridge I really want to try is the art9. That seems to be the one to beat now.
