Can someone explain why, until the recent VM series at least, Audio Technica cartridges required very short cables and minimal loading to get a flat FR. Is there a technical reason they couldn't get a flatter FR with a more typical setup (you'd think they'd do that for the sake of sales) or was the rising response a "house sound" that AT had cultivated.
Must say I'm pleased there are now cartridges from AT that don't need the bother to have a flat response.
