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!):
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!
As mentioned, consider the Soundsmith Otello. Great cart for $400. The Audio Technica OC9 series are good value MC's. Whatever cart you have, it will be limited by the phonostage. Consider at some point a stand alone phonostage. This will be "better" than the internal in the Denon. Schiit Audio: Audio Products Designed and Built in California and Texas |
mucker the type of question you ask is really answered by hearing things for yourself. As you can see, you will get responses that equate to yes, no, maybe, sort of, no because of...yes, because of...I worked for me, it didn't work for me... Get the drift? All the cartridge types can so "good." Just have a decent setup to make it shine, so your ears can decide. |
