MM or MC cartridge.....


Please explain the difference, I am new to analog. I have read that MC (moving coil) is the way to go, these are higher quality than MM (moving magnet). Any opinions? thanks...Mark

My 2 cents worth:-

As usual, TWL has enlightened us on the diff. between MC & MM (as he has on many other vinyl related issues).

To Mythtrip:

You can read an equivalent concise technical write-up at this website:

www.airtangent.net (scroll to the very bottom of the home page & click link to enter).
On the left side, click "LP playback". Then click "The Cartridge".

You will see that the owner/designer of the Airtangent linear arm has write-ups of many other essential LP playback issues, which are key to understand esp. if you wish to indulge in vinyl.
