Can't you just imagine J. Gordon Holt (of blessed memory), in a
mischievous mood, advising his readers "Don't waste your money
on those hifalutin' Koetsu and Kiseki and such-like exotic
cartridges whose coils are wound from mithril spun by the Elves
of Lothlorien to a thinness finer than Elf-hair. Just buy a
Shure and use your equalizer." ;->
Later on, of course, there were "equalizers" like the
Cello Audio Palette, and in the computer world of nowadays
there's Burwen Audio Splendor. Could it be done --
making a Shure sound like a Koetsu Rosewood Platinum Signature?
Maybe. Who knows?
Remember the Bob Carver Amplifier Challenge? He swore
that he could "voice" one of his solid-state t-amps
(t for "tube", get it?) to sound exactly like any
exotic tube amplifier the Stereophile
reviewers cared to name. That didn't turn out too well,
as I recall. But Carver did up making an exotic tube amp
of his own -- the Silver Seven. How big is **your**
circuit breaker?
