Are there any advantages to mc over mm?


I am kinda lost here, I will ask the audiogon community. With my high output benz wood mc cartridge is there any advantage of using mc side over the mm on my phono stage? Thanks,scott

The difference in most cases is the load impedance the cartridge sees. Typically mm inputs are 47k ohms while mc inputs are 50 to 100 ohms. In many phono stages you can adjust these so look up what the particular cartridge wants to be loaded with and use that input. Your cartridge is secified as 1000 to 47k ohms so it should work good into the mm input
