Just to elaborate on the previous post, it's more the structural rigidity of an arm vs. its mass per se that makes for better compatibility with MC carts - due their more 'sensitive' motor assembly and suspensions. MCs put a lot of energy back into the arm, so closer tolerances allow better "handling" (if you will) and less "wiggle" at the stylus/groove interface (as I understand it) I say that if your budget (and preamp) allows it, go fer 'da low output coil! Again, depending on your budget, something like a Koetsu or Allaerts would really *shine* on a rig as nice as yours! -John
Advice on cartridges!
Hi, everybody! I´m new in this hobby, and I´d appreciate very much some advice regarding phono cartridges. I´m using a Sumiko Blue Point Special MC, with Dynavector 507V tonearm, Oracle turntable, Aragon 24k preamplifier, Aragon 4004 amp and BW Matrix 803 Series 2 speakers. I´ve been using this cartridge for 6 months and I find the top bright and a little hard. I´d like to purchase a cartridge that could match in a more musical manner with my system. Advice is welcome. Thanks for your interest!
