I have Alan's MC/MM Phono Stage on loan here at the moment, I'd like to try a MC cartridge with it, never owned one, never used one, never heard one so before I send the unit off to the next loanee I'd like to try one.
Doesn't really matter if it's on it's last legs as I'll only use it for a week or two until I send the unit off, as long as I can get the jist of what MC is all about that would be great.
So I'm looking for something as cheap as poss please
Cheers

There are some not so great MC's about, so choose carefully. A good one is a bit special. :)
I've a denon 103-r for sale, like new. Pm me if interest.

Got an Ortofon MC15 Mark II Super and an Audio Technica AT-OC5 OCC going spare. Neither has it's proper box but both work fine and both have in the region of 600 - 800 hours on them. Either one £80 delivered.

Decent offer. Both rather nice cartridges for the money.
I have a Cadenza Blue - trade in value against the same £336, I can let you have it for £200.
May be more than you want to spend.

If you want something very cheap to play with, I've got an AT OC3. It has a very slightly bent cantilever but will only cost you £40 posted. Tip looks good.
Those MC15 supper mk2 ortofons are really good I'm using one as a stop gap in between carts and it is really rather good
