MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY?

AT140ML vs AT8008 Any advice?
Dear @durr3 : I still own the 8008 and owned the 140 too. Both very good performers, you can get a replacement stylus for the 140 through  LP Gear. Other good alternative is to buy the JICO SAS  replacement stylus for your  95ED that transform th...

@mijostyn  : I can't talk on the Atlas but the Etna is similar design and sounds better through voltage design. The issue here is not " depends of cartridge " but more depend of phono stage/line electronics design. Even in the CH by a " hair " the...
