I have used a Sumiko Blue Point Special for years and find it to be very balanced in tone and overall presentation. I have also used mm cartridges and prefer the HOMC. I have a well tempered record player and a Krell phono stage. I think the Blue Point special is a bargain.
High output MC cartridges
I'm looking to replace my MI cartridge
with a HOMC cartridge.
I've narrowed it down (price/output mV) to either the Dynavector 20x2 MC, or, the Sumiko Blackbird MC .
Before I take another plung .... I thought I'd run it by the AG community to see if anybody out there has experience comparing these two offerings?

I have also used mm cartridges and prefer the HOMC. MM cartridges are not the same, maybe your MM was bad if you prefer HOMC. My experience is opposite, a decent MM is always better than High Output MC. Also stylus wear and required re-tipping service make HOMC inconvenient and expensive to use, while the stylus replacement on MM or MI is amazing feature. Againg: SoundSmith lecture spread the light on MC versus MM/MI, loads of technical info. |
