Air Tight Supreme compared to PC-1

Please, share experience of the realized improvements between these two cartridges. Was the drop in output gain noticeable from 0.6 to 0.4? Any feedback would be appreciated.

If you are right on the edge with 0.6mV, you might not be happy with an 0.4mV output. Albert loves the PC1, as Mike infers.

As regards J Valin's review, all I can say is that he's done it again. He is a master of the superlative. Altho I am perfectly willing to believe that the Supreme is an improvement over the PC1, I would doubt that the differences are as dramatic as he states. based on reading his reviews over the years.
