The new MC is in the arm and after spinning the first lp, here's my initial impression of a brand new MC 6 times the price of a well worn Grado MM.
Faster, more inner detail,but a bit like a lite beer, definetly not for the warm and romantic types.
Is there 6 times the improvemnet?
Not at this initial stage of the game.
I'll have to say that at this moment in time,the brand new coil is not a great improvemnt over the MM, even after fooling around with the loading in the Steelhead.
I'm not being hard on the coil,maybe the Grado is just a fine cartridge afterall.
I have a friend who really likes the Grado Sonata and he's fooled around with more pricey coils, and still prefers the Grado.
I think I know what he's talking about now.
