Yes the best MM transducers ( I owned som Grados to ) is probably the best trackers. Like,the Ortofon OM40 .
And not to mention the matching with ones tone arm ? Any results is possible ? And fine tuning the impedance of the phono preamp , Ive had an electrocompagniet mc pre with whole bunch of resistors to exchange . Some riaa stages in some amps Ive had had capacitive matching too , needed for MM pickups . So probably each one of would get disparate results with the same pickup :) One could try to find the best transducer , but Ive seen very few decent test on pickups of any kind . You need special records to measure their abilities. And they all have clear flaws . In the end Ive found that all LP playback systems I owned had obvious audible flaws . They are like speakers in a way , you always have audible distortion of some kind . There are no truly transparent choices ( like it is in digital and modern analog electronics ). So you have to pick your poison. But you can do it smartly and not just on feelings . When we have transducers , pickups microphones and speakers , some of them are better by objective results but there is also an element of taste involved -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
