And let's not forget the phonostage

With a MM you can use more easily a top notch tube phono stage and that brings the MM performance up a whole lot. My Audio Technica AT-150MLX + Silvaweld setup outperforms a friend's Transfiguration Proteus with a Pass XP15 for a whole heck of a lot less money.
I had some nice LOMCs like a Lyra Dorian and then an upper model (name escapes just now). It was good but the Audio Technica has more energy and life with similar resolution and a bit less refinement.
I think it is no surprise that when Michael Fremer did a MM shootout the Audio Technica AT-150ANV got a higher blind rating than his Ortofon MC Anna!
