mm or mc cart

I have an entry level MM rega cart for my rega p9 TT. Is a change to a MC cart a big step up in sound?

Makes Life easier.

You'll need a phonostage or step-up transformer capable of handling a low-output cartridge. God luck, Dave

I just got one for my P5 and it is a tremendous performer PLUS with Rega cartridge on a Rega TT you won't need to add spaers to you tonearm to get corret VTA.
