RE: What is behind the revival of the Shibata profile??

For awhile I was hunting down old test reports. I came across a relatively new one in HFN. They tested a Clearaudio Concerto ($3K).
Keeping in mind the HFN pink noise track is defective and all carts look like they roll off at 15K, the Concerto had virtually no high end.
The reviewer said it was voiced for rock, but the lab tester said the tip was misaligned by 10°. Can you imagine plunking down 3 grand and wondering where the cymbals went?

You've probably seen this Popular Electronics from '77. They test the 881 on page 34. After a few pages of ads the test continues. You'll see the square waves. It's kind of cool seeing the old stuff, analog tape and such, but if I dwell too long it's kind of depressing. I'm old enough to remember.
