RE: Depends....

My turntables are middle of the range. A restored Sony PS-X5 and an old Music Hall MMF-5. Later this year I will be upgrading the Sony to a new table, either the VPI Prime or the Technics SL 1200 G. I like the idea of the Technics not needing any additional speed controls but I want to hear them both before I pull the trigger.

That's why I am interested in the MC vs MM subject.

You seem to come down on the MM side and actually, at the higher ranges, the prices are similar. So it comes down to sound. I also have no pets and children are 15 years old and girls so I don't have to worry about little hands or curious paws.

The downstream equipment varies from flea powers monoblocks and folded horns to ridiculously overpowered solid state. My system is always in flux that way. At the moment my favorite speakers are a pair of Thiel 04a powered by an old Denon PMA 750 that I recapped and cleaned up. Later in the new year I've got my eye on some TOTL Marantz gear that's sitting in a neighbor's house gathering dust as well as some classic Fisher tube amps I'm stalking like a hungry tiger.
