God you guys have gone way out of the way here. There are no commercial considerations, it is just a matter of meassuring apples and apples in order to come out with something meaningful.I firmly believe that a better cartridge to meassure would be the Type V, which you can still get at $100 less that the Linn, with the Linn cartridge. If the sound of the Type V, which I suspect will give a run to the Linn at $225 vs $349 then you can make a valid recommendation to a consumer as well as an inmate. You have to allow a break in period for the new cartridge in order for the meassuremet to be fair.
I believe the purpose of this tread was to discuss--from experience-- the comparison between the two cartridges, somehow, we have gotten of the track here. If I ruffled someone, my apologies, but it surprises me that we have gotten this far off after all these years sharing information on this site. In fact I am still waiting for some light on the subject at hand.

But really, comparing a current production cartridge with the long extinct Type III does not make any commercial sense, whereas comparing with another current production cart does. I love Shures and I understand the reason for the original post. BTW, V15VxMR is not the best of the V15 series, its predecessor V15VMR is way better. As to subjective sonics of V15 carts, I like Type II the best, but otherwise they are all very similar.
