MC Cart and pre amp question

I've owned my pro ject carbon turn table for a yr now.  It's my only vinyl experience.  So everything is new to me. I'm using a Heed Questar mm preamp.  I'm thinking about upgrading the cart from the 2m red to a high out put MC cart or possibly a moving iron soundsmith.  Can I do this well with my phono preamp or do I still need a step up? Educate me on why it's good or not good to go high mc or iron with my mm preamp.  Again, I've have lots to learn so please be patient lol.

Dear urbskc: IMHO maybe you can take a " better " road an improve your kistening experiences going from the Red to the Black, diferences in quality performance level are important and in the future you can taste the LOMC flavor where you will need a better phonostage.

Now, exist other MM cartridges that are really good, not only the Black but from Clearaudio, Audio Technica, Roksan, Goldring, Nagaoka, etc.

I think you have land to walk about.

Regards and enjoy the music,
R.
