Phono Cartridge advice


Needing some expertise I am currently looking at 2 different phono cartridges for my system. I narrowed it down to the

Dynavector 20X2 Phono Cartridge and the Ortofon 2M Black Verso. For best price for performance and quality.

My system is Totem Acoustic Forest speakers and a Cary Audio cad 120s triode tube power amp, Cary audio SLP-98P tube preamp with built in moving magnet tube phono stage, and Kimber silver streak interconnects. Sytemdek turntable with an Oracletone arm.

One thing about the dynavector I can run the low output version through a step up transformer but would prefer the high output version for cost savings.

My biggest question is moving magnate or moving coil better for a triode tube system? Let me know your thoughts and experiences thanx and happy holidays!

thanks for your input you guys. One other question that a dealer mentioned was if you have a moving coil with a step up transformer into a moving magnet phono stage it might to many coils and sound a bit granny and you will lose detail?
