Dear Axel: That's why I " love " those vintage MM/MC cartridges and maybe one or two of today cartridges that come with real test diagrams of some of its specs even some of them comes with a " certificate " for its specs.
Other that your recording maybe is not right on its specs what you find it is no surprise at all. It is easy to write specs on product manuals/brochures where we read it and almost never we ask for a test on it that can validate those specs: we trust on it.
That happen not only on products like cartridges or TT but in electronics/speakers too.
Any one can read through Stereophile reviews the manufacturer specs and the real measurements that JA makes where you can read that almost always are " differences " , sometimes and more often that we like " severe " differences.
Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.
