I just rediscovered vinyl because of this table, now I would like to try an mm cartridge for this tt and 10.5i tonearm. What would work best? Looking for a lasting purchase.
Last I knew, HW recommended Dynavector and Grado cartridges with his arms/tables. Any chance you can audition any models from these two to see if they might suit you?
Dear Pedrillo: There are several options on the MM/MI cartridge side ( like the ones that other people posted. ) even in the " vintage " cartridge market.
Normally the MM/MIs are a friendly tonearm option. You can go to the MM/MI thread to read about those options.
I would like to say that IMHO the HOMC is the worst choice you can take in front the MM/MI one, no single HOMC can compete/be near the MM/MI cartridge quality performance.
I agree with Raul. As far as I understand MC carts are good since they have a low moving mass. If you want to increase the output of a MC cart you have to add extra windings to the coil. This means the coil become heavier and thus defeating the whole idea of a light moving coil.
