Thoughts on Playback Accuracy

If you have a rich sounding cartridge, perhaps with that little dip in the upper midrange, the one that so many moving coils have these days, you may not notice some tonality issues we discuss on the blog and in our Hot Stamper listings quite as easily as we do.

Our Dynavector 17Dx Karat is ruler flat and very unforgiving in this regard. It makes our shootouts much easier, but brings out the flaws in all but the best pressings, exactly the job we require it to do.

We discussed the issue in a commentary entitled Hi-Fi Beats My-Fi If You Are At All Serious about Audio.
