RE: MM vs MC is MC THAT much better?
Posted by throwback on December 29, 2016 at 06:09:26:
Be careful. I kept getting seduced by the MC Sirens for decades. Worse, I kept buying MC, only to be disappointed after the initial wow factor went away and I went back to Grados or ATs. I have finally settled on a Miyajima Madake (MC),but I still find myself wondering if the latest Soundsmith cartridges wouldn't be just as good.
System considerations may be more important than component selection. Two of the very best systems I have ever heard have non-MC front-ends (a Stanton and a Panasonic strain gauge).
