Measurements for cartridges don't really tell you much. Sure, they can
show
frequency response, square-wave response, ringing, output level,
compliance,
tracking ability, distortion, etc., etc., etc.

All of which (other than square wave response,) tell you lots about how
the
cartridge sounds.

Not in my experience it doesn't.

But none of these tells you how the cartridge will sound.

Experience says otherwise.

My experience (and I have auditioned hundreds of cartridges over the
years)
says that measured parameters tell you very little that's useful about how
a
cartridge will sound.

Since the word "audition" was used we know that the above anecdotes are not
the results of proper level-matched, time-synched, bias-controlled listening
tests.




Did I say that they were?
