Field coil dava cartridge

i only hope those who visit this thread for specific cartridge listening feedback, and have to sift through all the ’other interesting things’, do eventually find what they seek.

tech talk has it’s function too, of course. but is it the meat? or beside the point?

for me it is clearly beside the point. actually acquiring and listening to cartridges is the hard part. while i respect apparent techie chops, it's not what get's me excited about hifi and music.

Dover, once again I don’t want to go off on a tangent or to steal this thread, but when I said “within 0.5 db”, to me that means within plus or minus 0.5 db in relation to 0db. That’s what I mean when I say that. I recognize there is a possibility for what I said to have been misinterpreted. I don’t doubt there are cartridges that claim such a response accuracy. I’m only questioning the reality.

Dear @lewm  : " questioning the reality ".

in the  @mijostyn  frequency range posted please tell us what's your " reality " talking about. posted that in that FR " all " FR cartridges is flat: dead flat and if you own a cartridge that measures over that then something is wrong down there and not easy to be exactly aware what is.

@mikelavigne , It is wonderful to be able to buy a multitude of expensive cartridges and be able to listen to them in your own system. I now find myself in that position but still will not look at cartridges that I think are substandard in any way especially from a cottage manufacturer. Time will certainly prove I am wrong in certain instances. As long as you enjoy what you are listening to life is good. 

@lewm  Lew, I have seen frequency response curves on many cartridges that were dead flat until the extremes. Obviously there is more to the performance of a cartridge than frequency response or they would all sound the same.

You guys really do make me laugh. Don't like the design so you are going to draw opinions about the sound but are not willing to actually hear it in a system. Thank you both for the entertainment.

I've heard the DaVa at Mikes house and was thoroughly entertained. I will be placing my order after I sell some of these crappy MM carts that Raul's thread convinced me into buying without hearing.

Simple lesson is this boys: all listening is subjective. Listen for yourself.
