Try your V15III in sub 10oC temps



???


The V15/III carts (and some other Shures IIRC) have a suspension with a
compliance that varies quite markedly with temperature. Thus they work
well
to spec at 20 degC, but if you have a colder room, they may well not!
IIRC
this is because they use a 'rubber' gasket that becomes stiffer as the
temperature falls.



I wuz querying the *temperature* - not the effects of low temperature (cart
suspension, speakers etc) - like, who the hell listens to music at anything
like sub 10 deg C??
