Michael Fremer has finally identified all the cartridges in his needle drop comparison test. He said that the Continuum Caliburn platter was rotating at the correct speed and that the Traveler was running fast. This being the case, my measurements show the Traveler was running 0.5% fast. You can read Fremer's complete review at the link below the graph. The voting poll results for best sounding cartridge are shown in the graph.

- Good point. But I still think a +/- .5% tempo/pitch change is musically insignificant. nt - Rick W 15:39:43 08/25/13 (0)

- Well, as you said, a .5% fast would be around 442. Guess .5% slow would be around 438. - Rick W 19:22:16 08/24/13 (8)
