Well yeah if you chose to ignore what vinylphiles
actually do in chosing their equipment and their LPs.

There is little evidence of an actual rational approach that is being use=
d
by LP-shackled audiophiles to choose equipment above a fairly minimal
quality level.

Their approach appears to be to compare numerous cartridges with,
among other characteristics, different FR profiles. And yet how many
of them own a decent equalizer?

The best cartridge ever made from the standpoint of flat frequency response
and low distortion, both electrical and tracking, was, believe it or not, the
Shure V15-V MR. Unfortunately, it's no longer made. The funny part is that
when it was being sold, most audiophiles and much of the audiophile press
looked down on it.
