Going from MM to MC


I have a linn table with an akito2 arm I just replaced the preamp with a rogue rp7 and bought a pro ject phono box DS3B phono preamp.  I am also going to get new phono cable from linn with the xlr ends on it. Right now I have an adikt on my table. I want to go to MC  to get better detail and seperation. I have been researching Cartridges and have narrowed it down to 3  the linn Krystal the lyra delso or the ortofon quintet S black. My Lin repair person is trying to get me to go  with the linn but I have herd the other 2 have better sound  any advice.where to go or even a different one all together  and why thank you Michael.

As a fellow PhonoBox DS3 owner, I want to mention that the balanced inputs only work with LOMC cartridges, so if the OP is getting dual XLR phono cables, a high end MM or MI is not a good choice!

@lewm - agreed about MM cartridges; I've got a Clearaudio Charisma cart which is a $2000 MM and sounds perfect for my system; totally rocks....

Linn in the Present Market are releasing Annual Sales Figures of approx' £23 Million ( $30M).

The Company also shows a substantial amount off-set for R&D within the Brand.

Watching the Linn Space in 2024 could show a New Cart' is to be released, and with the growing trend in Vinyl Usage it could be offered in the price range of Younger users, with the intention to get them over the Linn Threshold. 

All is Conjecture on the guessed Marketing Strategy
