RE: The DL-S1 would be hard to beat I would imagine..




Hi John

Thanks for sending the scan. Here is the one for my DL304 - they look very similar if not identical at and below 20kHz. The S1 appears to have a slightly greater rise at 30kHz to 50kHz, but it could simply be that the test disc used for mine was worn more.

It is interesting that the measurements for yours were done with a 47k load and mine with a 1k load.
I am wondering if the measurements are being done using a SUT and they are specifying the matching load to achieve ~100ohms? 20:1 in your case and 10:1 in mine?

I think you are probably right about the test being constant velocity - the possible errors that might occur with the equalisation during cutting, not to mention distortion due to the cutting head having to be driven very hard would likely give rather inconsistent results when being used to verify the performance of the cartridge.
