Ok So I have my new stanton on standby, and have been collecting a few LP's for the day I have everything for my stereo setup.
However, there are TONS, that I do not know about vinyl. Terms etc...
This is the phono stage that I have decided on.
THD: 0.002%
----------------------------------------------------------------
Noise Floor: MC: -79dB  MM:  -89dB
RIAA Accuracy: 20Hz ? 20KHz +/-0.25dB
Input Impedance: MC: 100Ω, 220Ω  MM: 47kΩ
Capacitance: 100pF
Gain: MC: 56.5dB  MM: 36.5dB
Subsonic Filter: 18Hz 24dB/octave
---------------------------------------------------------------
Now what does all of that mean in my my life?
What is MM & MC?
Does pico Farrad actually make a difference in sound?
Subsonic Filter... Ummmm, wtf?

Or is all of that just buzzwords?
