Please find another song recorded on the MC cartridge under discussion. Apologise, couldn't record in higher format.
Request all to provide more inputs on strategy to take this cartridge to next steps and on pricing.
Sir,
This is a different kind of product.. need new idea, more than Conventional idea.
All your inputs are welcome. Need to hear from music lovers and real users like yourself.
Thanks for your feedback on the recording

Nevertheless..... Your basic need is to getting it known. Where?? In the Audio Community. Writing about it on a DIY forum (although worldwide)
won´t create the economics, that allows you to continue and gettin´ some investments back.
You need to sit down with an exåerienced marketing strategist/specialist, preferable with experience in some audio brands.
You need to write/bring a "playbook", describing your product, your ideas, thoughts on investement/economics, wishes for the future etc. etc.
Together, you two "polish" on that, and from here on stick strictly to the plan. It´s all up to you, and how much money, time and efford
you´re willing to put into this. Less than that, it will only be a hobby project with an occational sale to friends and family.
I´m guessing, that it´s going to cost some money, and I don´t know anyone, who would risk several hundred $$ on a totally unknown
item, "plowing" through their valuable record collection.
Don´t get me wrong. I´m trying to encourage you.... definitely not the opposite. Just being realistic here.
Produce maybe 5 copies. Make individual measuring charts and provide them with each copy. Make contact with some well known testers/magazines,
printed or online, to review them for you, but be sure to know the retail price first, and be prepaired to leave them with the testers at a loss/free.
Just my 2 cents. Marketing experts MMW 😉
Thank you Boydk for sharing your views & ideas. The purpose of this thread is to get ideas to move forward with next steps. Your inputs are really helpful. Lets see what more ideas/views we get from other members here as well.
Thanks merlin el mago. You have made a very good point. We need to consider such overheads as cost of distribution, seller margin etc.
Just FYI.. already initiated communication with one of the prominent influencer. Lets hope to hear back..
More thoughts please. We have to push and move this forward.. May be i can give a couple of samples here for sharing most bright idea or most contributions .. how does it sound?

This might work to reach some people, but I (speaking for me only, obviously) would not buy anything advertised by an influencer. This always turns out to be a scam, as a paid review can not be trusted, IMHO.
Instead go for a respected tech review, testing linearity etc. pp. - hard numbers can be trusted, paid opinions from people that judge technology by the "feelings" can not.
As for the measurements, I can recommend the most important parameters to measure. Both geometrical, dynamic, static electrical, and using test records. I have done all of them on my Denon DL-103. The most difficult was to measure the azimuth and the vertical tracking angle using a microscope. Distortion, channel balance, frequency response is the easy part.
If you are very confident of performance, maybe try someone like audiosciencereview. I think they are fairly well respected as non-biased.
I have these test records (and more with music only). Most useful is the HFN&RR and the new Hungarian. I think the new or the old has azimuth tracks +/- a few degrees, but that is most useful for alignment of the cartridge and headshell.
Your VTA will be 20° or 25°?
