No! You need a high-compliance cartridge with a low-mass tonearm. Both the AT-ART9 and the new AT-OC9/III are high-compliance moving coils. This is unusual because most moving coils are medium-compliance or low-compliance. Very few are high-compliance.

The mass of these cartridges are in the neighborhood of 8 to 8.5-grams.

Best regards,
