which is better ? MC phono stage or MM+step-up ?


anyone care to share what would yield to a better sound or how they are different ?
Some people i know prefer a stand alone MC phono stage. While others swear by the MM phono stage plus adding a step up tranny for an mc cart.
How are they different and in what way is one better than the other sonically ?
thanks

Dear Dertonarm, May I deduce from your statements as follows:those of us who own a,say,'decent' phono-pre but
don't like to mess with SUT's,should choose a cart with +/-
0,4 -0,6 mV? Ie should also not mess with LOMC? I think, for example: Air Tight PC-1,Van den Hul (by ordering what one wants),etc.
Is there some 'critical limit' for those mV values?

Regards,
