It's obvious you don't have much experience in digitizing vinyl; otherwise, you would place significant credence in Fremer's tests.
> Besides the digitizing (I can see a dispute coming on.) problem I'm guessing that most voters experience these files through their computer DAC and speakers.
I don't know how most people listened. I listened through a $3200 April Music Eximus DP1 DAC and Thiel CS3.7 speakers, and the Ortofon Anna was not as impressive as two or three of the other cartridges.
I owned a Dynavector XV-1 several years ago and I came to a similar conclusion.
I will probably buy an ART7 when I see a good price again. I just procrastinated too long when 2juki had them in stock. However, my Denon DL-S1 is a topnotch cartridge that I feel is every bit as good as most of the ultra expensive cartridges I've heard so far.
Best regards,
