Anthony do have any links to the reports so far?
I am not surprised that a user changed his preference from his Ortofon to the AT cartridge. Using the Houdini will change correct SRA and the Ortofon has a Replicant stylus which I have noted from here and other forums many users do not understand how to align so, without better information, there already exists a doubt as the the comparison.
I do think it appropriate to maintain a sceptical stance but only to go further towards either a negative or positive position on it after some independently produced measurements become available. I think that we both agree that Dr. Miller would be an appropriate person to produce them.
Just a small point on John Crabbe's conclusion on MC cartridges. It was not about the moving coil principle per se but in regard to the low compliance of the majority of such cartridges. In regard to " Neither will it solve vibrations transmitted through the platter." for clarification Crabbe's little experiment in this regard concerned vibrations transmitted through the disc itself rather than the platter. He placed a cartridge in the play out area of the disc which he listened to whilst playing the opening track with a low compliance MC. He could hear that opening track via the cartridge placed in the lead out groove.
Best Wishes
