Best MM?


I want to try a MM with my Herron VTPH-2a. What's the best one? Maestro 2, Zephyr III, AT VM760SLC? Something else?

Virtually all Clearaudio MM cartridges are internally various Audio-Technicas. If I was after the Audio-Technica house sound, I personally would just get the top of the line VM760SLC, save some money, and call it day.
2M Black is my all time favorite cartridge. Listening to it will be an absolute trip. 
2M Black is a masterpiece. It has drive and life and holography. I’ve owned a Delos and it couldn’t hold a candle. 
SME Model 10A turntable. It comes stock with an SME 309 variation tonearm.

All of the best mastering engineers from the golden era of music (60s-80s) preferred MM to MC. 

I’ve also personally compared MC and MM to many real actual master tapes. MC is severely EQed and distorted. MM is practically indistinguishable from tape.
