We heard previously how my cheapest vintage (NOS) MM cartridge (Victor 4MD-20X) compares to my most expensive LOMC (AS Palladian).
We certainly can't expect a 'shock' result at this scale.....but I can still happily listen to the 4MD-20X all day long....🤗
The question remains though......how close to the Mega-Buck LOMCs can cheap vintage MMs actually come?
The Signet MR-5.0 LC is an interesting cartridge......
It sports a nude Line Contact stylus on a Beryllium cantilever just like the Signet TK-7LCa, but why have the two models especially when the parent company have their own competition with the AT-180ML.....?
