mijostyn - There's also the DS Audio optical system. As a displacement generator, the RIAA is (not) handled differently than PL's Strain Gauge.
Quite the bold statement regarding inexpensive MCs! Wish I had more experience with the Pickering, Stanton, ADC & MA pickups of the day as I hear they were explosively capable. Seems like Grado (and SoundSmith) are attempting to carrying that torch with purpose these days. Also glad to see AT stepping up the stylus game on their 95 series - not leaving it all to Clearaudio.
Yes, I'm a Transimpedance disciple :-)
