MC versus MM. Which to choose.

Hello all not going to take anything away from my Tom Evens groove plus srx phono amp or ZYX universe because i enjoyed that combination for many years in a row exclusively. Was on the verge of my 3rd universe swapout. Thats a lot of vinyl spinning and music listening.

Now im using a simple few component MM riaa circuit in my Fisher 400c preamp that i completely rebuilt paired with MM/MI cartridges. i believe i will be listening to this vinyl front end for years in a row. Out standing sound top to bottom truly quenches my musical thrust.

2 first class front ends one that costs many thousands and one that can be had for in the thousand range.

After years of MCs going back to MM/MI has been one of the best moves in my audiophile life. Yes i have accumulated a fine stable of MM/MI cartridges to go with that so simple phono stage which i believe has a lot to do with the super fine sound my system delivers. Less is better and its true. I have a good buddy and Rauls thread to thank for my return to MM.

So i would say Lostbears take a good look at vintage or modern MM vinyl front ends first. and good luck the world of vinyl delivers all of the music so satisfying.

Dover I would have missed on half the fun not being hands on with my vintage gear.

Great thing about this hobby theres a ton of options and opinions.

Folks we all must know the gear road will never end. Like was mentioned here the flavor of the week month year will never end. The temptation from trolling these forums will get you sooner or later.

Think about it we've had numerous systems through the years some better than others. But we all have achieved systems that satisfy very well to listen and enjoy our favorite music. Like the man says its the music not the gear for true music lovers.

So like yogi the bear says only you can prevent forest fires
