Cartridge Experts

VanDenHul feels longer is worse (from his q/a on his site)but some of the clearaudio cartridges have very long cantilevers and sound pretty good. I think its more a question to the overall cartridge designer and how he/she designs the entire system.

Yes, I saw that on his site. One problem with short cantilevers is the cart will bottom out on warps easier. Before I had to be careful that the coils did not hit the warps in records. Now there is more clearance. I think it sounded better with the shorter cantilever. Hard to say for sure as it was about a month turn around.

Sarcher, I hope you are wrong.

Nandric, It would not be the first time. ;) Why do you say that?

Sarcher 30, I like to pretend to be modest but the reason is, I assume, similar with Lew's. I overlooked his comment otherwise I would try something else.
