The other challenge with MC cartridges is they require a more capable and higher gain phono preamp. Traditional 60 db gain preamp / line stages really don't work optimally or end up noisy. Alternately, the use of many SUTs can mask the added resolution and thus cancel the benefits.

I chose my high gain Audio Research preamp solely to work with a Dynavector DV20X.
