MM, MC, or MI cartridge


Can somebody briefly describe the difference in the sonic characteristics of these types of cartridge, if possible?

I’ve never had a MC and I’m wondering what difference it would make.

Well, I just got the Hana ML.  

I’ve tried it out on a few sides.  After some initial muddiness, it came to life.
I know it won’t show it’s true character for a while.
 But even now, I hear crisper highs, more detail, deeper bass and a very pleasing overall presentation. Nothing harsh or overwrought. Everything in its place. 
Records that I thought sonically compromised are sounding just right. 
I know it’s just the beginning, but so far, very pleased.

@rvpiano  : That's all about, enjoy it and with more play hours will be better yet.

 

Congratulations,

R.

That's the best part.

Everyone is happy in the first 30 minutes of a new device in the audio chain, provided the new thing isn't broken.  Wait a week or two.  Not that I think you will ultimately be disappointed at all.
