chakster is absolutely right. High Output MCs have to have a large coil structure to produce the output leading to a high mass situation. Not good for something that has to move very fast. A good moving iron cartridge has perhaps the lowest moving mass of all resulting in instant transient response. Get a Grado Ref 2 or a Soundsmith Zephyr 2. If you have the urge to go MC then get yourself a little tube phonostage and do it right.
High output MC cartridges
I'm looking to replace my MI cartridge
with a HOMC cartridge.
I've narrowed it down (price/output mV) to either the Dynavector 20x2 MC, or, the Sumiko Blackbird MC .
Before I take another plung .... I thought I'd run it by the AG community to see if anybody out there has experience comparing these two offerings?
