I have not owned an HOMC cartridge in more than 10 years, so I am certainly not up to date on the latest, but before that I owned a Transfiguration Esprit, two Benz Gliders, and at least one Sumiko Blue Point. None of these sounded as true to life in my system as have any number of LOMC and/or MM/MI type cartridges. Thus I have come to believe that, as a class, LOMC cartridges are superior to HOMC. This is not to say that ALL LOMC cartridges are superior to ALL HOMC types. There may well be a great HOMC out there, somewhere.
Is a low output MC superior in sound quality to a high output MC??
I have seen a few short comments over the last year on Audiogon and in few audio magazines about the differences between a Low output MC versus a High output MC.
What might be the pros and cons of these two designs, and in general which offers the better sound quality even if both are the same brand??.
Thank you, S.J.
