Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?

Dear @lewm : """   might degrade the signal a bit, """only a " bit " , seriously? you can listen to the Etna against the ETNA SL that has a little lower output, maybe two round less wire at the cartridge coils ( I don't know for sure. ) and you c... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear friends: Just imagine any cartridge signal passing and traveling " hundred of miles " inside that unit, we can have only heavy degradation. That item was designed to a price point market average/mediocre market.Universe II through that item? ... 
NOS Grace F9E question
Dear @jollytinker : Maybe could be better to you to look for a different cartridge " taste " that could be the excelent Acutex M320 or Acutex 315/320LPM, B?O MMC1 or MMC2 or even the Astatic MF200 or MF100.All those are MI type not MM and with eno... 
Dynavector retiped
Dear @audiosens: You can retip but no one can't changes it for lower output. To do that the cartridge needs a new recoil.R. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear @lewm : I unknow why owning  an active phonolinepreamp you are doing so many questions about a headamp/pre-pre that only degrades the LOMC cartridge signal against your unit and even that yours has tubes in the signal path.Any external SUT or...

Dear @lewm: The MAX-237 comes with low effective mass arm wand and is superb. Two other great low effective mass tonearms that you or any one can find out easily comes from the Audio Technica group ( AT/Signet. ), I owned and can attest its very h... 
NOS Grace F9E question
Dear @lewm : Ceramic is even more resonant and very bad for cantilevers. Other than in cartridges some manufacturers used in headshells and tonearms and all sounds really bad. Ceramic is not for the analog rig, at least not in the condition the ma...

ADC XLM III 
NOS Grace F9E question
Der @lewm : Between other ADC used titanium too. Btw, when I talk about MM I'm reffering to all: induced magnet, moving iron, moving flux, electrect, etc. etc. I'm refering to non MC cartridges.Koetsu are solid boron. Even that hollow boron could ...
