Greg, you should be a bit more careful when you say
"not true", since it's only not true to you, or
to people who have the same perceptual ?style?ethos?method?.

I've listened to both Grace and Grado cartridges, and I find them
utterly unlistenable, as well as likely to mistrack.  The Graces
I've listened to were a touch better than the Grado, by my ears,
but that's about all I can can in the positive direction.

I've never listened to the Audio* cartridge, I must admit.  I've
simply not seen it.

You should (sometime)  try the double blind cartridge test as described
elsewhere in nut.audio, with the key on "carefully set up".  I've
found the Shure HE series styli a *B***T***H* to set up right, so
check the setup before you dismiss the whole kit and kaboodle.


(Yes, one that's not very carefully adjusted so that the stylus axis
is not on a radius of the table sounds pretty bad.  They also don't do
well on older arm designs that don't handle tracking error very well!)
