Hello Frank,
Thank you for your explanation. Noncongruence of the cartridge frequency response at different frequencies makes perfect sense. What we really need is a test record that has pink noise in the left and right channels. Until then I guess our ears are the best test tool. However, I suspect that I will still need to use the 1kHz test tone and the voltmeter to get close to the ideal spot and then fine tune by ear.
In your experience, for the best cartridges, have you found the overall "best spot" to be very far from the 1kHz "best spot"?
Best Regards,
Roger
