I think Lostbear would like to know why some think MC is better than MM. If you would please back up your statements with your experience.
Lostbear, I have a few good MM/MI cartridges which I enjoy very much. Some are very detailed and some more musical. Most were purchased under $200 except the Soundsmith( which you should consider). I have not used any MCs due to the cost factor and phono being MM only but I will in the future when I upgrade my preamp. I would listen to both as your budget allows.
Good luck in your search for the Grail and Merry Christmas!
