As a general rule,
MM carts are far more 'forgiving' of tone arm bearings
and resonance issues than MCs.

Why would this be? More damping?

**Damping and arm (bearing, headshell, etc) rigidity. SME bearings (kife
edge) are spectacularly unsuited for use with MC carts. Later SME arms
addressed the problems (only partially successfully) by using a damping
trough. It was a kludge. Arms like the fabulous Rega RB300 showed how a
relatively low priced arm could be built to deal with MC carts.
