It may be that with good tonearms like the SME V, the resonance calculators and test record results are not very indicative. You may have a very good sounding cart, with no perceived problems (maybe, depending on system resolution in low frequencies), even if the cart-arm resonance is 7Hz or lower. This might be a way to explain the very varied user results. Cf sublmnl, with the Frog, above. By the book it should be problematic, by the ears, it was great.
Good carts with SME V
Hi there
What could be the carts that match optimally with a SME V tonearm?
My SME is on a Hanss T30 player.
The match should have a resonance around 10 hz - I believe. Or no lower than 8 hz.
Cart suggestions are appreciated, from users of the SME V especially.
I ask also since maybe "official" resonance measures are way off, compared to user experience. Please include the weight and compliance of your cart suggestion, and if possible, your resonance testing frequency.
