Would frequency response of cartridge determine purchase?
Recently purchased new un-open Clearaudio Virtuoso V2 and found upper frequencies from 5k on to be 3db
above flat frequency response. If a system is very revealing this extended high frequency would be very
audible. So why not have frequency response of cartridges known to buyer before purchase! Yes I am in
a bad situation with forking out big bucks and hoping for huge a upgrade! Cartridge is at distributor and am
waiting for test results. Just curious why such a unit would leave factory in the first place.

The paper work that came with cartridge has a performance graph and showed the units performance when tested at factory.I see in your thread from a few months ago that you are using the Clearaudio Concerto V2, a low output moving coil cartridge, not the much higher output moving magnet Virtuoso V2 cartridge used by the OP. Although you reported also experiencing excessive brightness. What did the performance graph you referred to show? Regards, -- Al |
