Bare cartridge design, Sumiko Blackbird Low Output


I need a cartridge to fill in while my other one is stuck up in NJ. (SS Zephyr mkiii)
I am interested in the Blackbird but I am not familiar with a bare design.

What do I need to know about this design, and does this make the cart more or less susceptible to issues such as static etc?

Thanks for the input.

I have used the Blackbird. Nice cart for a warm system.

The Blackbird is a very detailed cartridge. Particularly the upper end. May
present itself as a little too hot.

A little extra care/awareness needs to be practiced when using it. Other than that, no big deal.

I don't think it would have been designed as is, if that were the case. Wouldn't make sense.
