This is an excellent point, in theory. Armen's description of the differences he heard are reminiscent of the general differences between Moving Coil and Moving Magnet designs, so this would not be too much of a surprise if the major differences in sonics were due to this design difference. It is also quite correct that the impedance and capacitance will have a big impact on the sound as well.
While none of this is mentioned, I would hope that Armen has taken all this carefully in to account, and that his assessment is a careful side by side comparison of the different cartridges with all the numerous variables taken into consideration. In any regard, it is largely a theoretical discussion; ultimately we would all want to try the cartridge in the context of our own systems.
