I also think it's funny the way, whether it's cables or cartridge bodies, the rarer and more expensive the material the better it's supposed to sound. Why? Do the electrons know that they're going along something hard to find so behave themselves better?? Where is the logic behind the idea that being rare makes something better suited to a practical application?
Cartridges are transducers. Things actually move...a cantilever bend, a stylus tip vibrates on purpose...that's why real engineers are used to work out what'\s best.
Why is this the only hobby where real, highly experienced and qualified engineers are told they know nought about their subject, and some bloke who once read something on the internet, and who steadfastly ignores all science poked uis way is allowed consider his opinion of equal validity?
It's ODD.
