But I'm talking here of vintage cartridges that if were under today production with today parts used for the top LOMC cartridges will be a true challenge to them.
So far, I’ve not had any MC cartridges beat the ADC 10E MKIV with the boron cantilever and nude MR tip. Extremely short/light cantilever and nude Micro Ridge stylus. Superb tracking at 0.75 grams, extremely low moving mass, the best imaging and detail I’ve yet heard. Tip life @0.75 grams is better than 800 hours.
