Dear @inna : """
$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.
Still, coherence, impact and weight of a good MM and MI is something that is not easy for any MC to match """
maybe a misunderstood by your part and maybe for other MM lovers.
In my experiences any LOMC good design has all those characteristics you mentioned and several others, even characterisitcs that no MM can match. If some audiophiles think different about only can means that something is wrong in their room/system overall set up and/or in their live MUSIC knowledge levels.
Did you heard in your system the Delos or the Cadenza Bronze?, you own a pretty decente analog rig that can makes a good job with a LOMC cartridge.
Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.
