Really interesting threads here, many thanks for all your hard work!
I'm looking at archiving all my old vinyls and doing it properly. The sort of stuff that was never released digitally, the originals DATs long disappeared etc! Dubplates, 10"/12" singles mainly.
Strain gauge carts seem a solution to the low mass cantilever issue, but don't appear to have been popular. Anyone here tested one?
I'm going to digitally EQ my recordings, so flat F/R isn't necessary. What I'm after is the lowest distortion to get the best possible transcription (after EQ). Which carts have the lowest distortion /harmonics so far?
