...it's been already almost 3 years since i've started to use mc cartridges of high definition. before that i used only mm.
mm cartridges are eaiser to set up. you do not need neither to load them nor even vta sencitive.
mc carts demands a great deal of attention from listener and experimentation. every little move makes a difference and you can experiment with them an infinite amount of time.
i believe that i still need to try different vtas and loads but i feel that i've almost riched nirvana in my analogue playback.
to tell what are the differences is very difficult since there are different mc and mm carts on the market. we even know that there are low mc-like output mm carts but what is the point for mm to have low output?
the point in mc cart for the low output is the length of coil. the shorter the coil the faster, more trasperent resolving and even dynamic the responce will be and there is no limit in moving coil method. less flexible the possibilities to create mm cartridge since we're bounded by the speed of magnet.
so the main difference between mc and mm is the potential to be better.
the best for the value so-far mm cartridge i've heard is shure v15mxr. beyond that i see no point investing money into mm. finally i'm about to acquire one to be as a back-up cartridge that can even smoke mcs in its price range.
the new consept of mooving irons is very interesting. the main task of the consept i believe is to have the iron as pure as possible with the most-minimal carbone content >.02% than the magnetic field will be changed very fast.
