RE: anyone else agree with RickW & +1 thru +3?

All I'm asking is for you to explain what you wrote in your previous post. You stated the following:

> However, I do agree that in some electro-mechanical ways, MMs are inferior to MCs. But in other ways, the opposite is true.

I just wanted you to explain what you meant by the "other ways" in which the opposite is true. I have an open mind and I'm waiting for you to fill it with some facts about how MCs are inferior to MMs.

I believe I understand the difference between subjective preference and objective fact. I have a preference for the sound of MC cartridges over MM cartridges. I understand that others have a preference for the sound of MM cartridges over MC cartridges. It is easy for me to understand and accept this because I'm pretty sure the two types of cartridges sound different from each other. Consequently, if two things sound different, it is possible for any of us to form a preference for the sound of one over the other. However, just because I like the sound MCs more than the sound MMs, it doesn't make MCs objectively better. What makes them objectively better are certain physical parameters that allow them to be more accurate.

Therefore, I would like you to tell me what objective parameters you believe make MMs superior to MCs, because I don't know of any. I think that constitutes an open mind. At any rate, it's about as open minded as I can be, so go for it. Tell me what I'm missing that shows MMs to be superior to MCs.

Thanks,
John Elison
