RE: MM vs MC is MC THAT much better?

Posted by oilmanmojo on January 3, 2017 at 12:20:59:
i did just that last nite (getting lost in the music) with a nice scotch, playing Dr John's Gumbo album followed up with Allen Toussiant's American Tunes album (his last). I would get aggravated at the end of a side cause is was lost so deep.

I am running a ZYX UNIverseII on my Maplenoll Apollo table. The ZYX is probably too expensive, but when i dropped my UNIverseI and broke it 18 months ago, i bit the bullet and upgraded. It is a LOMC (.2MV).

However, my daughter has my old Gyrodec with an ortofon red that i listened too recently. Are they different, yes. But its not like night and day. The ortofon red is a very basic MM and it sounds pretty good. I can tell the difference as the sound stage, texture of the music etc are more refined, deeper, cleaner, etc with my highend rig. Is it just the cartridge, no, but the UNiverse is one of the cleanest (some call it neutral) cartridges i have every used.
