MM or MC cartridge.....


Please explain the difference, I am new to analog. I have read that MC (moving coil) is the way to go, these are higher quality than MM (moving magnet). Any opinions? thanks...Mark

Audiogon needs a FAQ section for each of its major discussion forum sections. Too often I have read threads like this where frequent contributors become irritated with newbies innocently seeking answers to legitimate questions but - lacking skills in using discussion forums - they don't know how to research their questions. I would suggest that Audiogon discussion forum managers compile the best responses to FAQ's and make the discussion forum experience more enjoyable for everyone.
Barnyard animals!!! Man now that was funny. I really laughed at that one Tom. also the "Ward, you were a little rough on the Beaver last night!" that was really clever as well Fatparrot, because Tom did sound a little like Ward.

like Tom says low output mc's RULE!!!

The Audio Technica atc oc9 or the Dennon 103
can be had for $300 and less brand new,so price is not an issue.
Yes David, I know you know the difference, and you are enjoying a nice MC cartridge of your own. I'm glad you are. You should do a review of it, because most people are not aware of that particular version of the 103 that you have.
