Hello Sam.sam77aus said:Hi,
I was wondering if any of you have an opinion as to which phono
cartridge works best for decoding SQ encoded vinyl.
(currently using an Audio Technica 440ML)
Thanks

It has been said, here I think, that the AT 440ML has diminished phase coherence at the higher frequencias and decoding is worse because of that.

sam77aus said:From what I understand it should work well with CD-4 Lps since they use a
high frequency carrier signal which contains the front to back separation difference.

The wide bandwidth of the Grado carts will provide good CD-4 playback .... the debate is whether or not the eliptical stylus, in time, will be harmfull to the subcarrier frequencies within the record grooves.Lucanu said:I own a Grado Prestige Black, and it sound very very good with Qs, so it could be goof for Sq.
