The short answer is you determine by seeing if the screws fit. They usually do. The long answer: Been running analog since the 70’s. Know all about just what you’re talking about. Its never been a factor. Main reason it matters, audiophiles are all over the place trying all kinds of goofball stuff instead of just going with what works. So every once in a while some guy matches one oddball arm with one quirky cart, it sounds funny, some wise guy says yes compliant this with low mass that, and everyone succumbs to the tech talk. When in reality that’s not it, as invariably is proven ten minutes later when some other guy says hey I run that same cart, on that same arm, it sounds the bomb. They then technobabble back and forth, never getting anywhere. So what I do instead, look at output, read listening impressions, go for what sound best matches my preferences. Never failed me yet. |
