So how many use MM cartridge and intend to keep it that way ?

When I hear someone say "bass slam", I don't quite know how to take it. Either they are talking about bass that should be reproduced as recorded or about exaggerated bass that they like.
'Messing' with interconnects can be very beneficial even if not exactly free.

$2k Lyra Delos, which used to cost $1k two years ago from the UK, is where it might make sense to start. Or Ortofon Cadenza Bronze, $2.5k. Then there might be Kiseki Purple Heart and Transfiguration. 
Still, coherence, impact and weight of a good MM and MI is something that is not easy for any MC to match, as I understand it, if possible at all. This will most likely keep me in the MM camp forever. This and the cost of better MCs. 

I bet, some MC people are reading this and having fun.
I don't belong to any camp. Kavi's opinion does carry weight for me.
No, I haven't read that article but I will, thank you.
I know nothing about The Cartridge Man, it is just that it is not one of more popular choices, which may mean different things.

Why do you not care about them?

I am quite sure I could but not sure with which one, ideally. However, at least with my current table/arm and the rest of the system, this would more likely be MM. Yeah, I think I should try that Cartridge Man cartridge at some point, not exactly free even from the UK. Nagaoka 500 will be too smooth for me, I guess, I like some bite to the music in addition to the coherent flow. I am a tape man so naturally I want to come as close to the tape as possible.

Nothing is wrong with you, you just haven't reached those levels of happiness yet.

Albert has two tables and four arms, all MC cartridges, though. Makes sense to me too but probably would be too much for me. Two cartridges ready to play at any moment would be enough for me, I am quite certain.

Makes sense to have two arms or two tables, doesn't it?
