RE: Head shell

So after some research, this is where I am at:

I need a high compliance cartridge (>12) based on my tone arm.

I understand that your recommendation of the AT -ART9 & OC9/III are high compliance MC cartridges. If I want to try a MC, this is one of options. Hopefully my pre amp can handle this.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of this deal I am in, my options are the Sumiko & Sound Smith brands.

The Sound Smith options are:
Boheme HO - Comp. 22
Aida HO - Comp. 22
Norma HO - Comp. 28, Med. Comp. 22
These are all MM, not an issue with my pre amp.

Sumiko options:
I do not see a high comp. Sumiko cartridge.
