Personally I love my Sumiko Blue Point #2 MC cartridge. Seems to give an extra ooomph to the base and very crisp highs. Plus I don’t use an expensive phono stage.
What should I expect moving from MM to MC?
I understand it depends on the setup, so I'll start here. I'm starting small (in my quest for music Nirvana!):
- Denon PMA-600NE (70W, dedicated analog wiring, also a "source direct" feature that by passes the bass/treble/balance circuitry)
- Klipsch RP-500M bookshelves
- Klipsch 12" Sub
- Mofi Studiodeck turntable
I was considering moving from my Sumiko Olympia MM cartridge to the Sumiko Blue Point No.3 MC Hi.
Nothing but praise for the Blue Point in all reviews. But will I noticeably hear a clearer, fuller, warmer sound? Or is it a waste on money, focus elsewhere.
Thanks in advance!
