I always think capacitance is much more of an issue with MM cartridges

Of course, @lewm you are correct, thanks! I was thinking backwards. Mea culpa!
Upgrading from Dual 704 to Technics 1300G – Worth it for Sound Quality?
I’ve been using a Dual 704 with an Audio-Technica 440MLb cartridge for many years. I’ve been considering replacing the Dual with a Technics 1300G, but I keep going back and forth on the idea. Would I actually notice an improvement in sound quality?
One of the reasons I’m looking at a different turntable is that the Dual limits my options when it comes to cartridge choice, while the Technics offers far more flexibility in that regard.
What are your thoughts?

I'd suggest that every aspect of vinyl playback is critical. Overhang especially, but azimuth and zenith as well. Capacitance is primarily a concern with MC cartridges. The issue of compliance is ensuring that it will yield a satisfactory resonance frequency when mounted on your pick up arm |
