**Er, not quite. The FR plots of MC carts, in some cases, CAN be shown to be
superior. The reason, of course, is blindingly simple. It's all about
inductance. The inductance of (LOW OUTPUT) MC carts is very low, indeed. This
enables them to produce a very flat, very wide (up to around 60kHz) frequency
response, with a correspondingly superior rise time. The real benefit of such
a system is that LC resonance effects are often well outside the audible
range. This means that a low output MC cart may exhibit a very flat phase
response within the audio band. This may not be the case with high output MC
carts nor with some MM carts.

Are you sure "blindingly simple" makes sense?

I took the question to be general. Do you mean that it is obvious that MC has
less inductance than MM? Why is that please?
