Good evening to everyone here on Audio Science Review from Denmark.

Thank you very much for all the recommendations and comments on my previous post. I have a question regarding which MC pickup to choose and I would like your thoughts and advice.

My current setup is:

- Sansui AU9500
- Pro-Ject Tube Box S2 (thank you once again for all the advice)
- B&W CDM1 speakers
- Mudita turntable (https://beautifulturntables.com/) with a SME 3012 tonearm on it.

I'm usually listening to jazz records, live and studio albums with a lot of acoustic elements. My budget is flexible - I would rather spend an extra couple of hundred dollars than saving the money and having a worse result, but I'm not a fancy hi fi guy that spends 10.000 usd on cables.

I have been recommended the Denon 103 MC pickup by a friend. Other people tell me to just go for a good MM pickup, however I feel a strange urge to strive for an MC pickup, since I have now purchased a RIAA amp that can adapt to MC pickups.

Thank you for your time and considerations.
