There are dozens and dozens of high and low output cartridges that could be classed as "high compliance". This should not be a problem for an experienced audiophile like you, Neon.

@lewm Actually the vintage higher compliance cartridges aren't in my wheelhouse. Sure I know the later V15 versions but that is mostly it. I also hear that some like Accutex have suspensions that harden. Was just trying to find a couple of good candidates for this evaluation. My MC2000 will be one cartridge, but I need a more typical one too. |
I just purchased a London Decca Super Gold. No idea what the compliance is and no idea what your budget is, but the sound is incredible. Cost is around $3k - if its anywhere near your budget I would highly suggest checking it out. The design is totally different from any other cartridge out there. Design is from Decca way back in 1950's. As the one guy told me "we are building what Decca wouldnt'/couldn't back then. |
@dmk_calgary I'm a huge fan of Deccas, but I wouldn't begin to know how to think of them in terms of compliance. The movement (particularly lateral movement) of the armature must be so small, I guess the proper description is "Compliance: not applicable"! |
