I understand the high vs. low compliance issue; my purpose for this post was to point out the lack of good tracking by the SAS vs. he original V15III stylus, which must have been much more compliant. This was a surprise to me, but the sound was comparable.
Telarc 1812 revisited 2
Previously, I posted this subject and got about 84 responses. Most opined the cannons could not be tracked, and the recording was not "fair" A few such as Raul stated he believed they could be tracked, which was a good test of cartridge tracking ability. I had several carts. in the early 80's, chiefly Audio Technicas and Shures, [on inexpenive direct drive TTs], which had no trouble, although later, much more expensive rigs have not been able to do so. Of interest now is that I just purchased a Jico SAS stylus for my old Shure V15III which easily tracked the 1812 previously, but with the Jico SAS, you should see it bounce around!
