RE: New Cart too light for my tonearm

Soundsmith has a clever set of mounting hardware with 3 different weights of screws that come with washers that grip them so it's easier to use non-threaded headshells.

The problem is the screws are only 10 mm. long so measure to know the fit. I sent mine back.

If you have a hacksaw and an 1/8" piece of aluminum plate you cam make a headshell sized piece that will weigh about 4 grams. Drill some holes for the screws. That's what I did for my 4 gram ZYX. 2.5 M stainless screws of the appropriate length rounds it out.
