Long ago, about 1958 or so, someone (Stanton maybe) made an effort to market a ceramic pickup which was about as good as the magnetics of that time. However, ceramics had gained such a reputation for cheap low fidelity and high tracking force that no one would buy it. By the way, I can't see how you could make a stereo ceramic.
Is a good Cermic Cartridge an Oxymoron?
A wonderful Metzner Starlight turntable (circa 1950s) is terrible thing to waste. Yet, its induction motor throws out so much EMF that I’m afraid it’s a two-pole and therefore a death sentence for all magnetic cartridges.
While I’m going to try some heavy MuMetal application with it, I want to prepare in the event that all the transmissions can’t be shielded. Do any good ceramics carts exist?
Thanks, Mario
