why ?

hi abe,

many of us cut our teeth on MMs and in those days, MCs had rising top ends that were hard to tolerate. as time wore on, preamps were devised to cope with those problems and the carts were subsequently designed to not have such severe rising tops.

we still have some of those old units and use them now and again. having a detachable headshell is a big benefit here. one must be cautioned though that certain carts like the ADCs really need low mass arms and the technics arms arent suitable. sure, there are those out there that will maintain that they havent had any probs with that but those original ADCs and sounuses were delicate and truly need low mass arms.

MC carts are usually not so delicate in the suspension and many times need a higher mass arm to function properly.
