Thanks Goyescas for the Music Factory tip! I'm using the Morch red dot armwand. I don't know it's effective mass, but I can tell you it is THE right armwand for this cartridge! Somebody in these pages wrote that when they used the Morch-recommended green dot armwand (the lightest one), they couldn't get any bass out of it. Well I'm here to tell ya I'm getting deep bass out the wazoo with this cart and armwand! In fact, it clearly betters my Virtuoso with that same armwand. This is no surprise, as Morch recommends my red dot with that cartridge. It has been my experience that whatever Morch recommends, go the next armwand up heavier, you'll get much better performance...so I probably should've been using the yellow dot with the Virtuoso. Vertical and horizontal resonance points are 8-10Hz with the Shure; with the Virtuoso, they were a bit high at 14-15Hz. And you're right about the Maggie treble, but that's another story. I tend to think of it as demanding/revealing of any flaws upstream of them, which they indeed are. Regards...
