Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon

MC vs MM war is an old hat : ^) _ ... like most of us writing here, right ?
Anyway, the MF-100 ain´t too bright in my system. A note: looking more closely that MF-100 on US Mart seems to be a new generation ASTATIC (due to yellowish body, and hence the low price), not a vintage in fact but it´s good nevertheless.
Btw, I also have an MF 2500 ; ) Thanks Raul for your guidance.

OP, good luck with your choice

If you go MC, MAKE SURE the loading options in your phono-pre will accomodate those required by the cartridge. Even better to have a range of loading to experiment with to dial in the sound you want. MC have more considerations as those mentioned above in this thread.

Invictus,  Your and Chakster’s zeal for MM cartridges over all else is in my opinion just as misplaced as is Raul’s recent conversion to the religion of the moving coil cartridge. Your blanket statement that any cheap MM can outperform any high-end moving coil cartridge is at least a little exaggerated, don’t you think? In this hobby, it’s always a good idea to keep an open mind. Anyway that’s my own opinion.

Before this becomes a fist fight... I made my decision & bought the Lyra Delos that was listed on Audiogon.  

I checked that my RB250 would be workable.  He said it’s a great starter-ish arm & would work great.  I have Rega spacers.

i also checked & my Jolida JD9 ii will definitely cover the needs of the cart & I’ll be able to experiment a little.

As far a the MC vs MM/MI fight... what you happen to like is the one/class that sounds the best.  We’ll always be amazed that all our reading & talking to people brought us to the point to make this enlightened, inspired descion. When we get it on the tt our decision is confirmed... you bought the absolute best cart ever made.

if you can’t play nice, take you toys & go play in your own sandbox. 

Nice move on the Lyra Delos. Very good cartridge at a great price.

When you upgrade your tonearm in the future You will get even more out of it.

Best Regards,
