RE: Lets Start A Favorite MM Cart Thread....Inspired By Opus
Posted by neobop on June 11, 2011 at 15:49:45:
Hard to choose just 1 or 2. The AT-15/20SS is a wonderful cart. At 47K it sings like music. On the other hand a Stanton 980LZ is rather amazing. If you have a quiet MC stage you can hear the difference between a MM and a MC. The Ortofon M20FL Super is another fun cart. At 47K it is back of the hall with big dramatic bass and a crystal clear top end. If you prefer 3rd row just change the load to 53K. The Clearaudio line is another fav. My Virtuoso w/various AT styli is a natural sounding hi res machine. All the CA carts share the same generator. AT is the OEM. Learn to do a stylus transplant or send a cheaper one to Soundsmith and be amazed.
MM vs MC isn't an either or proposition. Who cares if some jerk says one is better than the other? Things can be appreciated for what they are and the enjoyment you get out of them. Debating something like this is like pissing in the wind.
