Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp

@holmz  : Be straight and tell me what exactly you want to tell me with:

" a spell check on Raul I think. "

Again: " To claim that the loading affects the measurable frequency response of the cartridge is bogus. "

He not named " bandwindht ".

You said: " less able to trace high frequencies. " any cartridge that's " less able " to trace HF change the frequencies where is less able to pick up the grooves information. But the issue is that you can't prove it with true facts/measures.

 You follow with your tale at Munich but in at least 3 different threads in different internet forums where you, JC and I participated about and where you posted your same " tale " he never confirmed that agree in that " less able to track HF ".

With out facts and confirmation for me all that is a lie and false as Wayne proved.

You were not in Munich, plain and simple.

JCarr did not address the topic of high frequency traceability one way or the other. I recommend you set up an LP mastering lathe as I have and you can sort all this out easily enough.

If you are saying that by making the cantilever stiffer that its ability to trace a smaller and smaller waveform in the groove, requiring the stylus to move faster and faster against that increased stiffness, and somehow its ability to move that fast is unaffected, be my guest. But on a very basic level, the idea has no merit.

In this context, is there any relationship between cartridge bandwidth and cantilever stiffness? It seems that as the load-induced stiffening increases, the more reduced the bandwidth becomes.

Thanks Ralph.

It seems that way slightly, but there is an electrical component as well as mechanical.
And the stiffness may be more like a phase shift than an amplitude decrease??

we need a real physicist here.
