**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?

**MUCH less wire in the coils (to keep moving mass within reasonable
limits). High output MC carts negate many of these advantages.
