I agree with you, bc ... to me, an "HOMC" is "neither fish nor fowl"!
It seems to have been developed so that people who only have an MM phono stage ... can still use a "Moving Coil" cart. However, an output of 1.5 or 2mV really needs a lot more than the 40dB of gain which a 'standard' MM phono stage delivers. Also, an MM phono stage typically has a 47k input loading - whereas I suspect an HOMC will actually sound its best, loaded at 13 to 20k!
