My favorite back in the day was the B+O cartridge. I had the top of their line. Do not remember the model #.

@mijostyn - Might that have been the MMC 20CL? |
MMC1 or MM20CL. I destroyed the OEM cantilever on my MMC1 because of the stupid built in stylus guard. Had it replaced by SS but their sapphire cantilever is solid as opposed to a hollow tube in the original and looks less delicate. I haven’t auditioned the repaired version but the original was one of the best cartridges ever. Tracked everything at 1g. |
If you look at the RIAA curve, you’ll see a sort of ’flat’ spot that isn’t duplicated by the constant amplitude characteristic. So you do need some EQ. If you look at a proper ceramic phono input, you’ll usually see a network that takes care of this. This is the same issue faced by strain gauge cartridges, although some of them are built to accommodate the RIAA curve. |
