MC cartridge output measurements

Can someone tell me what is the conversion ratio from the JVC 3.54cm/sec standard to the CBS 5.0cm/sec standard. In other words, if a cartridge output is measured at .3mv using the JVC standard, what would be this cartridge output using the more common CBS measurement standard. Benz and Zyx are using the JVC standard to measure their cartridge output while most other (if not all) cartridge manufacturers use the CBS standard. Thank You. Sly

I give credit to A'gon member Nsgarch for first bringing this issue to broader attention. He's posted about it here a number of times. Where he first learned about it I don't recall.

One resource for "all" things phono (or tube)? That would be nice.

Here's what I do: read any-thing posted by any-one, any-where. Then try to remember each tidbit when appropriate!
