RE: You make a good point!

Regardless of the transducer principle, the 45/45 groove and the cutting procedure will dominate the final result.
I have an ELP (Laser Turntable) and the output is still fed to a phono preamp. This proved to my satisfaction that many of the distortions and blemishes that can be heard via conventional LP playback are often cut or embedded in the groove and not due to any stylus/cartridge design issues.

I guess the thread has deviated from the original point, but in my view the discussions around the phono stage ignore the more fundamental issues regarding the interaction of the transducers to the pre-amp electronics and other more dominant sources of distortion.
