McIntosh Preamps - Moving Coil Vs. Moving Magnet Input

Seeking specific and general opinions...

My C52 has both a moving magnet and moving coil turntable input. 

In McIntosh preamps is one preferential over the other, does one perform "better".. is one more dynamic, forgiving, etc?

Thank you very much for your insight. It’s very helpful.

The gear I am considering is the Pioneer PLX 1000 paired with an Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge.

Much appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback.

I wound up with the PLX-1000 and 2M Blue.

Question on load capacitance...

The 2M Blue specifies 150-300pF and the C52 will cover that and more.

Any thoughts on how/where to set it?
