I certainly did not mean to imply that LOMC cartridges cannot be made to be high in compliance. Perhaps my choice of words might lead you to think so, for which I apologize. But the fact is that most LOMC cartridges are low to very low in compliance. You and I agree on the ART7 and on the Ortofon MC2000, as exceptions to the rule, with relatively high compliance. I own one of each, and I like them both very much. I have no doubt that the Denon DLS1 also has its virtues. My point was that on average, MM cartridges are higher to much higher in compliance than the typical LOMC. Perhaps you don't agree. At any rate, I attribute the superior capability of the better MM and MI cartridges to reproduce accurately the sounds of a piano (attack, timbre, and decay) to their higher compliance. In so doing, perhaps I am committing the typical audiophile sin of confusing correlation with cause and effect. I admit that's possible.
