Dear Mike: As you know several times in audio is really difficult to meet/match exactly the " technical " factors with what we heard/hear.
Obviously that your cartridge/tonearm combination function in that precise way and to function/perform in that way it needs that lower VTF.
I want to think ( by my experiences. ) that other cartridge/tonearm combination can perform in a similar way but with different VTF.
The behavior in a tonearm/cartridge and its performance is something that we know works and have to works in matced couple but we really don't know yet all the why's and how's on that critical relationship.
Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
