So how many use MM cartridge and intend to keep it that way ?


Not in entry level set-up.
I currently have Goldring 1042, Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacearm, and might try The Cartridge Man or some vintage cartridge later.

@stereo5...thanks for the heads-up on the Gold Note Vasari Gold MM. I’m always looking for a new cart. Never heard of this one. Can’t believe I missed Jeff’s write up in ToneAudio about it.


I'm guilty I suppose as I have three MC's and 8 MM's. What's even worse is that my go to cartidge for MM is a Nagaoka MP11 Boron.  It's like the MM equivalent of my 1966 Denon 103 (retipped many times).  
But then there are so many favorites from Audio Technica, Ortofon, Shure, Dyna, Decca, Sonus, Grace,etc. 

A better question would be 'who could live with just one cartridge?'

Now that I'd like to see.

I am quite sure I could but not sure with which one, ideally. However, at least with my current table/arm and the rest of the system, this would more likely be MM. Yeah, I think I should try that Cartridge Man cartridge at some point, not exactly free even from the UK. Nagaoka 500 will be too smooth for me, I guess, I like some bite to the music in addition to the coherent flow. I am a tape man so naturally I want to come as close to the tape as possible.
