Reminder of MC's

[hifitommy]

a lot has been said regarding this subject. i would go to the audioasylum.com site and in the vinyl asylum-search the subject.

the brightness issue has gone away as current carts and preamps have dealt with this problem.

also, i would go to:

http://www.cometsupply.com

and search denon. there are numerous MCs there for the price youre looking for.

if you have a preamp with mc capability then youre ready. otherwise, a step up transformer or pre-preamp is necessary.

once youve tried mc, you may have trouble going back to mm. high output MCs arent all that good. of course htere are some that are very nice, just as with anything.

the 103 at comet supply is $120! thats the best price around and its a VERY good cartridge. the stylus is conical so you may or may not prefer the 301mk2 at $170.

good luck in your quest.

Tommy you are my audio uncle, and I love you as such, but why do you bash HOMC so much? I think HOMC would at the least serve as a nice stepping stone.
