The V15 IV was introduced in 1978. It is positively ancient. I

priced.
Really? There isn't much real technical information available for
cartridges these days, but I can't remember seeing anything as good
(distortion, frequency response) as a V15.

It seems like it would be possible for any competitor to
reverse-engineer the V-15 VI - V and duplicate its "magic sauce".
