Dear Lewm: +++++ " have correctly (probably) pointed out that the compliance/mass issue is not at all the sole determinant of a good tonearm/cartridge marriage. I suspect that is a very important truth. " +++++
why you have doubts about with so many testimonies not only on that MM thread but on other threads and even on proffesional reviews like that one that I pointed out in more than one ocassion review on Audio magazyne (1984) reviewed Ortofon MC 2000 cartridge. Well, maybe because you are " technical " oriented and like to know in precise way the why's, I would like to know it too.
Now, some way or the other we have to trust in the tonearm/cartridge manufacturer specs, yes maybe sometimes could be some errors but I think normaly are trusty numbers.
In other side, what I think we need is some one that take the task to " design " a mathematical/computer model that take in count any single factor/parameter/subject that has influence in the cartridge quality performance level and that could give us an " idea " of what to expect with a cartridge under " some/any " circumstances " where cartridge is surrounded.
Who say I take it?
Regards and enjoy the music,
