["The moving mass of the MC cartridge is the mass or weight of the stylus/cantilever/former and coil assembly."]Understood.
["This is much lighter in a LO design due to less windings needed to produce the higher output."]
You seem to suggest, that the coil assembly's weight is more of a sound quality issue than the windings themselves. How does the "less windings needed to produce the higher output" correlate?
["A high output voltage for the same number of windings is not a bad thing."]
Here you seem imply that the number of windings is not a distinguishing feature between LOs and HOs. Also voltage is unrelated to the windings.
["The lower mass allows better tracking, faster response, better retrival of the original mechanical signal in the groove and overall better dynamics."]
Are you referring to LOs or HO's having the same number of windings?
["The positives of a higher output are offset by the negatives of a higher mass."]
Here, you acknowledge that HO's higher mass/ higher output offset the LO's benefits described above (better tracking, etc). What are the beneficial aspects of this "offset"?
