Does anyone know how to compare the American (Japanese?) and British (European?) ways or stating a moving coil cartridge's output?
For example, my old Koetsu Goldline Black was quoted at 0.4 mV in Americaln reviews, but the output as stated by Absolute Sounds is 0.6mV. It would seem, then, that the difference between an output at 3.54 cms/sec. and 5 cms/sec. is in a ratio of 2:3.
I doubt that working out the equivalence is so easy, however, and I wonder if anybody can shine some light on this.
