"Micro-dynamics in proper scale with macro-dynamics for MC carts is generally a function of low moving mass combined with low output..."
That sounds like the ongoing ’mantra’ for MC cartridges, now doesn’t it?
Now there’s something else, than just coils and their windings at work...
MAGNETS.
The fewer the windings (to reduce moving mass) ok. BUT now to stay within reasonable output limits (~0.2mV), stronger / bigger magnets are called for, eh?
Talking strictly about MC right now.
(If an MM uses a tinier moving magnet to reduce moving mass, you add windings and, ok, get a bit more induction... ).
Back to MCs now and my thinking - dynamics - vs MM.
What do magnets have if their magnetic field is changed? Hysterresis - loops.
The more rapid the change the more Hysterresis (resistance to magnetic flux change in simplistic terms)
EVERY magnet has a hysterresis effect, the bigger/stronger the more notable, give or take.
This, my suspicion, is causing this ’micro-drag’ that makes MC’s presentation different to MM’s.
The only reasonable explanation I can come up with.
This what I call ’mirco-drag’ is what I’m hearing, I think.
And it doesn’t end there, as it will create ’micro-phase-shifts’ and thereby also affect timing.
This as all gets minutely dragged out of the original ’timing position’.
Correct me if I’m ’hanging too far out of the bus’ with this, and then kindly give a sensible good alternative explanation, please. 😏
The funny thing is, no one seems to mention magnets, ever it seems, as if it was only induction and coil windings being of any import.
