I rather taken with it. My question to the cognoscenti is if there is a current phono cartridge that will work well with the 3 gram effective mass of the tonearm. My thought is that an AT740ML or 750SH will add mass due to the heavier body and might be the most likely candidates. They also fall just below the 8.5 gram capacity of the arm without work arounds. Any and all guidance is appreciated.
Another alternative is to put a new stylus on one of my vintage cartridges. The ADC XLM MKii Improved seems a good candidate but the new EVG nude elliptical stylii are out of stock, though VOM does have a JICO.
