So, time to find a Moving Magnet cartridge.

Thanks for helping.

MC cartridges often offer benefits over MC. Why not buy a phono preamp with
a MC/MM switch ? Probably a cheaper option.

Whether MC cartriges have any inherent benefits over MM cartridges has
always been controversial.

One of the finest MM cartridges ever made still costs less than $100. It's
hard to get a good MM preamp for $100, and MC preamps are generally far more
expensive.

AT95E or even a Linn rebadged one in the form of the K9 if you really
must pay more ;-)

How does that compare to Arny's favourite, the Shure M97xE?

I've no idea. I just know, having owned and used many, that the AT95 and
clones sound very good for the price. I particularly liked the Linn K9
(named because of its uncanny resemblance to Dr Who's robot dog) because
it came in a very tasteful grey and had a nice Linn logo on the front;-)

For the record, the M97xE is not my favorite, the V15-VxMR was.

This is a UK froop, the last poster we want in here is
Arny Krueger, whatever the subject, no matter the
thread evolution AK will eventually resort to his
cyberstalking of John Aitkinson, and Arny's ******** about
ABX and his highly dubious contentions...yawn.
If you're placing any credibilty in Arny's opnions or views
then go ask him in the froops he haunts, he's not wanted
here in the land of the sane and knowledgeable.
