Ideally you should use the exact same stylus in each body, and try each body under identical conditions. Will be interested to learn of the results: there are similar thoughts expressed by some concerning the brown and the black body Shure M55E.

I suspect you'll be interested in the outcome of that!

Marco.

P.S Well done, btw, for coming up with the correct added capacitance figure for the loading plugs (see my previous post)
