[QUOTE="Ampdog, post: 9773, member: 144"] Yes, that is what I thought Croak. That is why I was puzzled that Skinny should use output as a description. Unless it was simply a popular description of an MC cartridge - but we have the term MC. One also has low and high output MM cartridges (I have seen quite a factor of 3), while MCs I believe feature the same spread, so somewhat confusing. Also, not to go off-topic, but I have seen some MMs with specs almost as good as some MCs. Again I do not have that much experience of commercial models; folks like yourself can tell me about the "serious advantages". Not sceptical, just cannot quite figure, regarding a quite substantial difference in cost. Is it worth-while? I have designed a low noise MC pre-amp; quite a task compared to a normal 3mV input MM pre-amplifier, and therefore as expected quite more expensive. I am trying to equate the "serious gains" to the 3 - 4 times higher cost (10 times if you go exotic). No figures before me, but lower moving coil mass for MC? The MM has no moving coil, thus that moving mass must be lower, all else being equal? (To be clear, we call it MM, but I am thinking rather variable reluctance, thus fixed magnet, only moving stylus proper. But as said, not aux fait with the latest stuff. You can explain?) [/QUOTE]
