lalitk,
You’re right, I am happy to fall back on my digital system.
In some ways, I’m hoping that the new Hana ML cartridge will have some (but not all) the characteristics of digital. Will have to wait about a week for the new cart to find out.
MM, MC, or MI cartridge
Can somebody briefly describe the difference in the sonic characteristics of these types of cartridge, if possible?
I’ve never had a MC and I’m wondering what difference it would make.

LOL!!! Really? You are EXACTLY the type of person I was referring to! You don’t comprehend how MC/MI/MM cartridges work! When you induce magnetic flux into a non-magnetic soft iron (Mumetal or other brands), you induce from only 1 permanent magnet pole. The entire armature takes on that one pole’s N or S polarity. It would be physically impossible to have both poles of magnetic flux. The armature is then an *extension* of the one magnetic pole. The armature in the coil pole gap has only 1 pole’s magnetic flux. A true MONOPOLE of magnetic flux! And BTW, a small, powerful rare earth magnet on a cantilever also has 2 magnetic poles in very close proximity to each other, and to the coil poles. Doesn’t happen in an MI armature! |
Dear @rvpiano : " I’m hoping that the new Hana ML cartridge will have some (but not all) the characteristics of digital. " Digital and analog medium are two way different media. Both with its own characteristics. That we can like some analog characteristics the hope that digital even those characteristics is out of question and there is no reasons to wait for. An apple always will tastes as an apple and a banana as a banana. Both proccess, recording/playback, in both alternatives are totally/absolutely different.
Our preferences is other different issue that has nothing to do with those alternatives and it's way complex/complicated.
Try to enjoy the more you can MUSIC you are listening, that's all about. Which media: I don't care but as you several gentlemans cares about.
