Cartridge-- M/M or M/C
Even though I have been back into vinyl for about 9 or 10 months now, I am still a relative newbie. I used to listen to vinyl in the 70's but not the way I do now.
I have a MMF-7 TT with the stock Eroica cartridge. As you know this is a M/C cartridge with what I assume is high output. 2.5 mv. (is that right?)
I guess because of my stupidity it is time to upgrade.
I don't want, or let me rephrase, I can't spend more than $500. What are the character differences between M/C and M/M?
What should I be looking at in this price range?
Thanks, Scott

It's a no brainer to me--but here's actual testimony of someone who went through these troubles: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1069168134&read&3&4& I know he dumped a 1200 for a Rega 25 and then had to come back to the 1200. This time fully modified. Idler wheels can be killer TTs, like the EMTs. It akes a lot of money to come with an adequate ( "rhythmic" ) belt drive, that's for sure... |
