Insiders check in

Can't pick a favorite.  They are all so musical that it amazes me.  MC are more transparent, faster and much more extended and airy in the highs.  But they don't have the musicality that MM or MI achieve effortlessly.  Also MC require incredible phono stages or step ups to work. 

I was listening to the vintage Azden MM yesterday and the sound was great.
What phono stage are you going to be using?

I have the Goldnote ph10. Amazing versatility.

Really nice to be able to change settings on the fly right from front panel.

Like now I have been changing loading slightly to suit the quality of the album recording being played.

With that phono stage you have almost an endless choice of cartridges.  Very difficult decision.

Exactly! Lol.

But always good to get actual user recommendation and experience.

uberwaltz what price range are you focused on for your cartridge.  I heard a Kiseki Blue on your table and arm at Hollywood Sound and it was very nice.  Do you consider your system leaning more to the musical side or a little more on the analytical side in general?
