RE: Jeez, John, that link made my eyes glaze over :-) Some specs and questions......

John I have no intention of getting in a debate with you or anyone else about the merits of moving coils vs. moving magnets. With you, especially, it would be like me bringing a knife to a gun fight.

However, all I can say with any authority is that in my system, in my room, there is something very seductive about the sound of especially some vintage moving magnet cartridges, such as the Grace F9 (which, based on Vinyl Engine specs, goes up pretty high in bandwidth.)

I have, as you know, a DLS1 and it does sound very good indeed, when properly loaded, etc.

But I have, of late, been listening to both the Grace and a Nagaoka MP 500 and the urge to replace either of them with the DLS1 has been so infrequent as to be meaningless.

But it may be that happy listening is because of limitations of my system, or hearing, or both.

And, if I may, I seriously doubt the major manufacturers' seeming lack of interest in further development of the moving magnet is science-driven.
