Thanks a lot everyone ! the idea behind the MM was as i already have a good MM cart and Phono phono and did not want to change that ;)
But based on your responses and also other reading, it does appear the best option is a Denon 103 with a wood or Al body and a wood headshell.
What ill do is first try it out with the nagaoka MP30 i have and then decide if i want to change it as apparently the Schick does best with medium to low compliance design. if not the better option is to get the Denon + new MC phono
Raul, as you said the nagaoka is pretty accoomodating as well,so its well worth the try.
