Different strokes. I can't get then to sound right in medium mass arms.

They really sang in arms at, or over, 20 grams effective mass, ATP12T, Ortofon, etc. Didn't sound right in the Rega or Micro Seikis.

I am just finishing up restoring an SME 3009ii unimproved, which is only a 12.5 gram arm, but with a heavy enough headshell, and counterweight I might take another stab at it.

It seems a very old school cartridge that, IMHO, sounds best in a very old school arm. I would like to try it in a Fidelity Research FR54 or FR64, but the 64 is just stupid expensive now.

Shame about the Shure nude ellipticals, the JICO SAS pretty much ran me out of the room with the brightness in a V15Vmr. Not for me. I would like to find a nice replacment stylus for my M91eds, though I just lucked into an original ED stylus.
