High output MC has my vote too. There is also the dynavector DV20XH that would do. I have one and I like it a lot.
Which: $1000 MM or Transformer and $400 MC?
My budget is $1000. Which would make more sense: a $600 used Bob's Devices step up and a $400 MC cartridge or a $1000 MM or MI cartridge? My downstream system:
Clearaudio Solution AMG
Aikido DIY preamp
Quicksilver M80s
Green Mt. Continuum 3s.
