Is a Ortofon Black a step down from a Pickering XSV 3000

Dear @anthonya :  a DJ, really? you can't choose any worst reference than a DJ where its cartridges has nothing not even relationship with audiophuile cartridges. Verified by the pro?, what they know about LOMC cartridges vintage or today ones or electrect,MI,IM,MM true audiophile cartridges?. Just forgeret about. You are wrong because your reference is the worst one you could find out.

But, if you believe what they told you then that speaks by it self the knowledge levels you have, good.

""  is same as 1042 "" absolutely not, the Audio Note and Reson cartridges are made by Goldring but the cartridge motor is way different as is the cantilever/stylus and almost everything but the cartridge body.

I own the Reson and the 1042, way different. I don't recomend any cartridge that be not a " superior " design/performer.

My 981 sample is the MK2 stylus tip and the radius is not only higher than the Empire but higher than true Shibata stylus that’s way superior stylus shape: GOT IT? I posted what proves those facts.

What you posted is a lie , normal in you.

@lewm is rigth: "  where are the data? "

Dear @tzh21y  : This is the Ortofon Beethoven Aniversari 2M Black best MM cartridge designed by them, they made it not only a change on parts as the boron cantilever but in the cartridge motor too:

those conical are magic sounding. we also use them for casual listening m44, Stanton 500, denon. different energy. 

also I used some of the new hyper eleptical eleptical  didn't last as long as those old stuff. made in China even.. that's the worst 

they are radio stations peoples
ex  Atlanta recording
sound men for studio. 

that's not only cart they' used.. emt, 981lsz body which I got free from them.. they do it for a living.. 

huge load collection of reel to reel.
