Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge?


Dear friends: We can read through different threads/posts in this forum that people always want/ask to know for the " best " " audio item " that IMHO and till today does not exist in " absolute " meaning.
Well I already have and I'm " living " a unique experience that makes me to share with all of you what IMHO could be in Absolute terms " the best cartridge ever ".

Please read this Technics EPC-P100C-MK4 information that could help you for you can share with us your experiences/thoughts on the subject of this thread:

Dear Mordante: Well, do you take my offer or leave it?, I really mean it.
This offer is not because your post content but to give you the opportunity to be more satisfied that what you already are: you can't lose!

regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
Raul,
Sign me up for the release of your cartridge, in fact I'll take two if that's allowed.

P.S. The concept of discovering which cartridge has the best performance and then making it available for a sane price: this will be a very nice contribution to the audiophile community.

"Finally I find the analog source true Reference and following/reading the Pedrillo/Travbow restlessness on how attain that cartridge quality performance yesterday Guillermo and I had a meeting on the subject and decide/talk that due that we already have the " Reference " maybe it is time to make our self design phono cartridge, we will meet again to discuss in formal way this exciting new project.
Of course that we have to finish the tonearm/mat projects first than the phono cartridge one."

"The only thing we can hope for is that he designs a world beating cartridge himself. Then we can hear about that for another 500 self absorbed, chest beating posts. Where there is no alternative to Rauls absolute."

Am I clairvoyant? No. But now that Raul has built the worlds best phono/linestage and is busy working on the worlds best tonearm, well what else could he do? Can't let the unwashed masses roll around in pig slop MC cartridges. Not when he saved us from tube preamps, and now on the quest to save us from linear tracking arms and all of those bad sounding pivoted arms that dont match his golden ears standards.

Raul, I want to thank you personally for saving all of us in the audio world from the mediocrity put out over the last 50 years by electronic/audio designers, who obviously have not a clue at what they are doing compared to you.

Acoustat6, I honestly think Raul is serious in his plans and attempts to fulfill his dreams and visions.
And I have no doubt that in his very personal point of view to the audio world as a whole he will succeed one far away future day. In his vision to let the world know and accept that his designs are what he sincerely believes they are, he will fail - as will and has so far everyone trying to make anything "absolute" or "best ever".
These are all hollow phrases today.
Human hearing and taste and visions are always individual and subjective.
If there is one single field which will never see any "best", than it is audio reproduction.
Unless we succeed in standardizing the recipients ....
