My question is why Moving Coils should be thought to be better than moving
magnets. I can think of several reasons why they should be worse, lower

Trackability should be better on a MM, as should record wear due to lower
tracking weights.


I am surprised there has been so little development of cartridges beyond the
two basic magnetic types and good old ceramic. What about an optical
cartridge for example?
