Just posting to let people know that audiomisc.co.uk now includes a
web version of the 4th article in my recent HFN series on LP. This one
provides measured results for the old Shure V15/III and compares it
with some modern MM carts. Also has some close up photos of each
stylus, etc.

With no exact link, it took me about 5 minutes to actually find the
page.
:-(

Sorry about that. I was just assuming people would go to the main audiomisc
page and scroll down this they found it. But I agree I should have given
the URL.

The URL is http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/HFN/LP4/NewLampsForOld.html

Once there, it was an interesting read. No surprise, the Shures had far
better technical performance than the rest.

The V15's did. I was impressed by how well they had stood up to the passing
of time. Textbook performance for stylii that are many years old.

But I was suprised by how the 97 really didn't seem very good to me.

I'm kinda surprised you didn't try to find the optimal load for the
cartridges.

Mainly because the article was 'New Lamps for Old' on the basis of just
swapping one cartridge for another. I am hoping to look at loading in the
future, but had to keep the work and the article length down to a
convenient size.

Slainte,

Jim
