FWIW I hope to put the first couple of HFN articles (limits of
cutting/replay and stats of peak velocities, etc, from various LPs)
onto audiomisc soon. And the 4th article with the results comparing
various carts with my ancient Shure V15/III is due to appear in the
mag in a couple of weeks time.

How does the V15/III compare to modern carts?

ahem Well, you could buy the issue of HFN that will be appearing on 30th
May to find out the details... :-) ...although I'll be putting the
article on the web after the usual delay of about 6 months. As well as
frequency response, I also did THD versus frequency and signal level, etc.

That said, the simple answer is - very well. The results I got confirmed my
personal preference, and the measurements didn't show any of the modern
examples being superior. I wish Shure still made the V15/III and stylii for
it as they used to. [1] So if anyone is still using one, I'd say keep with
it unless change is necessary.

Slainte,

Jim

[1] Indeed, more than one person at Shure said they felt the same. But they
feel it isn't a practical market for them nowdays.
