Finally redid this Tacet test record on sibilants."Strident Sibilants and Fricatives". Two tracks at different radii, so you can audibly compare performance at the inner groove.
Very revealing… My Shure V15-iv Jico SAS B on Denon 51F 1.25g no brush had obvious problems on the inner track . My AT OC9MLii 1.5g on SME V did very much better , only occasionally a slight “ TZ “ on the inner track. On music I am not able to differentiate between them on inner groove performance, so far , but maybe now when I can better recognise the effect.
Both cartridges are presented here…as I recall the Shure looks nicer on the plots. Flatter and less distortion. Both track 80um with flying colours.even more if I use more AS...same boron and microline diamond, but Jico has 28 degree VTA , OC9 is 22.
Sometimes one just need to listen ..
