Enthusiasm for Musical Encounters, is the another perspective to the 'name of the game' in any 'audiophile'.
It certainly is a fundamental with importance to receive the label.
The use of a keyboard to participate in a forum, is not being an 'audiophile'.
It can be a place for an individual, who has an enthusiasm for musical encounters, to express many similar, but usually very undesirable content, in a large volume of contributions being made, especially when there is absolutely no association of the content to the Thread.
I have a rega rb300 arm on a michell gyrodec. I have analog devices op amps used ss phono stage and pre amplifier.
I was using Ortofon kontrapunkt b then I put a black
My expectation was that kontrapunkt b would be better
Kontrapunkt b has better bass, tonal balance is in the mid-low than black
Black is vivid, real, airy, tonal balance mid-high than b
Overall, there was a big difference in the sound in favor of black.
My choice was black without hesitation because of it's there feel.
That got me thinking a bit about the overall mm-mc difference
If you are talking about the 2M Black, then I agree.
I have owned the Ortofon Jubilee (x2), Cadenza Black and A90 - the 2M Black can't compete with those on delicacy, detail, soundstaging etc, but it is no slouch either and the tonal balance and presentation may be preferable.
You should try the LVB 250 stylus for the 2M Black. The boron cantilever with the Shibata stylus provides many of the MC qualities but retains the essential balance of the 2M Black.
