moving magnet or moving coil cartrige

Dear Kurt: +++++ " Of course maybe that is due to my current system being so much better than my old system. " +++++

certainly you are right on this. I own those B&O beauties that I use in a non B&O TT loaded at 100Kohms and 100pf and all I can say is that are just fantastic performers and IMHO at least at the same level overall of any MC/MM today cartridge.
If you have any today opportunity try to test those B&O cartridges I'm sure you will be happy about.

Regards and enjoy the music.

>>IMHO at least at the same level overall of any MC/MM today cartridge.<<

Well I disagree with this. I owned both the MMC-1 and MMC-2 with my B&O TX-2 some years ago.

No way either of these cartridges stands toe to toe regarding clarity, depth, and dynamics compared to Zyx Universe, Transfiguration Orpheus, or Dynavector XV-1s.

Never.

Audiofeil: True, the B&O cartridges can't compete with the better cartridges that you've named, (I happen to own, and love, the Dynavector XV-1S). But then again, the cost of the B&O cartridges, even adjusting for inflation, is only a fraction of the cost of those cartridges either.

I think a better comparison would be to something like the Benz Micro Glider 2, (another cartridge I've owned recently), and in that comparison, I think the capabilities of the B&O cartridges were definitely in the ballpark.

My two cents worths anyway.

Dear Kurt tank: I can't understand what you posted on the B&O cartridges if you don't have any single idea how them performs in your today audio system loaded at 100KOhms along 100pf on capacitance.

It will be interesting/learning for many of us how you achieve those conclusions, maybe I'm missing something about. Could you explain on it?

Thank you in advance.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Kurt,
Although I agree wholeheartedly with you, price had nothing to do with Raul's assertion.

I simply pointed he was wrong in that regard.
