Title: This cartridge has a worse signal-to-hum ratio than any other cartridge I've ever used.
Review: I have 4 other cartridges (1 Numark and 3 Audio-Technica) and 2 turntables (1 Technics and 1 Numark).This cartridge has 2 big problems- Low output level and high susceptibility to hum.The first problem would be forgivable- a low output level can just be cranked up- if it weren't for the other problem.None of my other cartridges on either of my turntables produces _any_ audible hum.This cartridge has it so strong that it is unusable for normal listening, much less archiving.Probably if there was no AC field nearby, it would be fine, and there is a television within 4 feet of the turntables.However, the bare fact is that none of the other cartridges are picking up the hum - only this one is problematic.It is the lowest output and by FAR highest AC-hum-pickup cartridge I've ever used...Note, the frequency response and construction are all pretty good - I just wish it didn't have the major flaws...
