@Vinyl Transators I definitely can hear the smoothiness of the Super OM. I'm impressed by the sound of the horns at the end... I'll go for it for my Pioneer PL 510 A which unfortunately now doesn't have any cartridge. Thanks for the comparison!👍

By any chance is the 5s a bit louder than the rest because of that .5mV difference?

Do you know if there is a difference between the standard and the Super OM body/cartridge?

[@vinyltranslators3730]

The internal electrical system in the Super OM has a different design. The poles which controls the magnetic signal in the Super OM has a more efficient design that produces a constant signal throughout the entire frequencies resulting in a smoother, flatter frequency curve. Also the Super OM coils are made of silver plated wires instead of plain copper wires that make it less sensitive to capacitance differences and produces a higher output.

@@vinyltranslators3730 Wow, interesting. I did notice a difference between them, but I didn't know the reason why. Thanks for your detailed answer

私も高音がきつくない、OM5Sの方が自然で聞き心地が良かったです。次回の交換針はこれにします。

Коническая заточка играет на все случат жизни, но без особых подробностей…
