From Audio Scene Canada August 1980, a blind screen comparison by Floyd Toole of 2 MCs and a MM which I decided to add under its own thread rather than at least 2 others to which I might have added it.

Has the same fault all these blind comparison tests have. How are the listeners supposed to know which cartridge is more prestigious and expensive?

You deserve a medal. Next time I come across a priced-to-sell SUT on USAudiomart and I start getting MC-curious I will remember this article.
