[QUOTE="handsome, post: 93707, member: 772"] MCs have coils attached to the cantilever versus the magnets of an MM. The coils are lighter than the magnets and thus imbue the cartridge with better tracking ability and high frequency response as a result of a much lower moving mass and less inertia and momentum. Because there arent many oils you get a very low voltage, but you also get a very low output impedance and thus the MC is not affected by any capacitance. MMs have their frequency response affected by capacitance in the cable and phono stage input. Adding more coils increases the output voltage and you have a high output moving coil, but now the coils weigh more and you're sort of back to the characteristics/issues of an MM. [/QUOTE]
