moving magnet or moving coil cartrige

>>IMHO at least at the same level overall of any MC/MM today cartridge.<<

Well I disagree with this. I owned both the MMC-1 and MMC-2 with my B&O TX-2 some years ago.

No way either of these cartridges stands toe to toe regarding clarity, depth, and dynamics compared to Zyx Universe, Transfiguration Orpheus, or Dynavector XV-1s.

Never.

Kurt,
Although I agree wholeheartedly with you, price had nothing to do with Raul's assertion.

I simply pointed he was wrong in that regard.

Modern electronics and TX-2 tonearms aside there is no way the MMC-1 and MMC-2 compare to the cartridges I mentioned.

If you're going to cite modern this and that, let's not forget the advances in cartridge development. Better wire in the coils, better magnets, better quality control, and better (and smaller) stylus shapes.

In addition there are probably another half dozen including the Air Tight and Lyra Helikon that could have been included.

Had enough?

Hi Raul and thanks for whatever you think you said.
