Re: Let's compare numbers and see why mine are different from yours

Soundmind, you are being foolish. First, when a phono cartridge PLAYS a record, it often will mistrack on certain passages. Not ALL phono cartridges will mistrack the same amount, mc cartridges mistracking more than many Shure cartridges, BUT with the proper set-up, audiophiles mostly prefer MC cartridges, because they actually sound better: NOT because they have a tendency to mistrack, but because of their extended bandwidth, which at the very least, reaches to 30 KHz, or much more, and then falls off gradually, compared to a Shure.
I can PROVE by my published measurements (IEEE, 1978) that most MC cartridges at that time had an effective bandwidth of 10 times that of a Shure M91ED. The Shure M91ED looks like a 4 pole filter at about 20 KHz, and not Butterworth or Bessel. I know, because I measured it myself with a TEK 7633 scope and a TEK 7L5 spectrum analyzer that I had on loan from JBL at the time.
Soundmind, you are just GUESSING. AND you are getting a lot wrong!
