The mid bass and lower bass are fine, the lower bass is another subject. It is there and it is goo but I would like to have more. It is not that it is deficient but… put in this way if it has more than my playback will be able to use it. I need to look further into the lower bass. The Jubilee has something that I call “musical bass” – it is good itself but I need more technical, the bass ++ , all the way down in depth and weight. My playback knows how to make from this “technical” bass the right musical bass. The Jubilee so far does not offer this extra material to work with, the Shelter 901 did it. The Jubilee’s bass is in nearly-sufficient side, but I would like to have much more….
Facing the feeling that my new Ortofone Jubilee might not be as great performer at very lowest octave as I would like it to be I begin to wonder what make a cartridge to have a great bass. Does bass an electrical or mechanical property? With all things being equal and the cartridge/s are properly setup in own geometry, resonant frequency and so on- what would make one carriage to have more influence in very lowest bass and another cartridge to have less? if it some kind of very minute fluctuation of mechanical forces, or it is all boil down to electrics, or perhaps the combination of both?
