In the Thread: How to run MM-type cartridge into MC phonostage?

Ah, the current source!! Serge, you must be right. Ironically I did hear about this method of extracting cartridge signal by Dynavector when I used tier 507 arms but I forgot about it. If am not mistaken the Dynavector is not a phonostage by just voltage extractor that need to driver another MM-level devise with RIAA circuit. As I understand the Blueberry Hill unit is a full phonostage, with current to voltage converter, RIAA and the driving buffer. I never heard those types of correctors; it would be interning to try them. The current source is good, the coil in cartridge become infinitely damped. However, I do not know if the people who design the cartridge and tonearms rely upon the cartridge resonances. I do not think they do, otherwise it might be necessary to have different type of specially cartridge in order to get from the Dynavector/ Blueberry type of phono devises their optimum performance.
