Re: new turntable - back into vinyl - help!

Moving coils are much harder to make well than moving magnets. The advantage to moving coils is that they are much quicker than moving magnets therefore transient response will be much quicker. The problem with inexpensive moving coils is that their frequency response, coherency from top to bottom can be really uneven. Some feel that the least expensive really good sounding moving coil is the Benz Glider. Coherency is what moving magnets do extremely well. So for relative entry level cartridges, moving magnet is the way to go. Overall balance is much more important than transient response. Clearaudios first moving magnet is getting good reviews. Grados cartridges are very good. Finally, Goldrings are really good too.
