MC or MM?


What is the difference between moving coil and moving magnet? The preamp I am buying can accept both.

From audioadvisor, the Grado Statement is MM, which Grade Reference is MC. It almost look like the MM is better than the MC. However, I think Audiogoners can offer better advice then retailers can.

I was wondering why Grado MC was becoming such an issue since Grado doesn't make an MC.

Then I went back and read my thread. After calling myself a flaming mistyping idiot, I read the original thread.

Then I decided to say nothing.

I'm sorry for attempting to deceive the public for my own personal gain.

I hold my head in shame. But, I still feel that the Clearaudio would be a great combination with the Grado.

Even if it can't be a Grado MC.
Techno, I would imagine that would be a great combination with a Grado MC. Probably very detailed sonically. The sonic characteristics of the Grado in conjunction with the Clearaudio could end up being a very neutral combination.

That is what sucks about turntables. You can only assume what a combination will sound like until you actually hear it synergistically. The Clearaudio arm and bearing structure is extremely rigid. It theoretically will make the most of either of those Grados.

Best of luck., Ed
Colitas, keyboard proximity is totally irrelevant when your not thinking about what you're typing. The scary part? I own three different Grados. As a matter of fact, I think you had inquired about a Platinum I had just sold on Agon. But it was already sold.

Jsd, to make things even more confusing, all wooden models are also available in mono versions upon request with stylii options and output options.
