advice on high output MC into MM stage. (yeah.. I'm that guy sorry)

[Gmanuk101]

yes.. I did a search, but it's 2021, so am wondering if anything has changed.

MM stage ( a good one )
Deck is Technics SL1200-G.
Current: AT-760 with the RigB mod (I love that MM match for the techy).

So, there's the usual suspects like DynaV' X(n) ...

Just fancy trying a MC (high output of course for the MM stage) ... entry level is fine, as like most of us I'm on a budget... (those who aint, soz).

If your budget is in the £350 - £400 range then the Hana EH is very hard to beat for the price. Below that then it's the usual suspects from DV & Denon to the best of my knowledge.
Might be worth grabbing a headamp which opens up possibilities with regular MCs and easy enough to sell on if MC is not for you.

Sound advice from our esteemed member..................however there are so many really first rate MM cartridges about now, eg the Audio note IQ range

I'm wondering about the AN IQ range myself but find it very annoying that the prices seem to be some sort of secret, what's that about? Also not many reviews out there.
Re the OP great advice so far. I would suggest the Denon DL110, great sounding HOMC. A pity it's become so pricey( but then all carts seem to have jumped up in price recently).
