A MC cartridge has superior bandwidth --particulatly the low-output types (that do need a quiet, high-quality step-up transformer for the best performance --including low-noise). However, even the high-output MC's (that can be plugged directly into a MM phono input)usually sound more open, extended and airy than MM's because of their extended bandwidth.
Cartridge alignment is critical to all types of cartridges, specifically one's with more sophisticated stylus tips (eg; Fine-Line, VandenHul, etc), and, naturally, greater frequency bandwidth --MC's.
