In Reply to: My arm is 16 g with a light headshell. Definitely on the high posted by Opus 33 1/3 on March 26, 2015 at 17:13:18:
I see ... well I'm going with you aren't particularly talented at cart. alignment. ;)
No but serious ...
I used my OC9 ML II as primary cartridge on my Roksan Xerxes w/Artemiz arm. I quite enjoyed it. However on classic rock, like the Who, Bowie, whatever, it was too clear. It had a studio monitor effect, which is really the opposite of what you want to hear unless being paid for it!
On my Pioneer PL-570 I had a Ortofon 2m Red I used for classic rock. But besides that for classical and especially jazz, which in its many forms is 90% what I listen to, pretty damn good if not great.
So I land a Dyna 20X H for peanuts from Waxxy here and put it on the PL-570 ... I never listened to that POS 2m Red again, the Dyna outclassed it so badly the just learning retroactively hurt. Seriously good cart.
So the Dyna was to go on the Xerxes and *then* I landed an absolutely perfect Benz M2 Wood ... Benz is my heaven ... so OC9 retired.
... I get this AT 100 something other MM cart with 10g Magnesium headshell combo. I put it on the PL-570 .. nothing special ... put it on my JVC DD w/AQ PT-6 arm .. nothing special; no surprise that, hate t pt-6.
Then I get curious and mount the OC9 on the heavy headshell and put it on the PL-570.
Wham! ... excellent performance up there with the Dyna (which is not latest 20X btw).
... so in opinion the OC9 is way better than you make it out, and at its best it can sing.
