[QUOTE="fdlsys, post: 918223, member: 2310"] The thread is about cartridge comparison. There are conditions to being able to [b]objectively [/b]compare the cartridges: - Each cartridge should be fitted to at least a ballpark-compatible tonearm (passed) - Cartridge alignment must be correct (failed) - Media must be in such condition to allow you the hear everything that is recorded, as-recorded. (failed) I certainly didn't suggest that you should buy an RCM. But if you want to enjoy the record playback as intended, you must find a way how the clean your records (and stylus). On the other hand, if your objective is to play dirty records as-is with minimal grief, then the rule of thumb is: the worse the ability of the cartridge to resolve detail is, the less sensitive it will be to anything that causes grief - and that goes both for the alignment and dirt.
