Re: AT95E is a better match for your arm...

70.50.43.78

The S-shaped arm on the Pioneer is going to be low to medium mass at the high end. It is certainly not a high mass tone arm. The compliance #'s on both cartridges (20 on the AT, 25 on the Ortofon) put them both solidly in the high compliance zone (they are both pretty "springy" cartridges), making either a decent match with a lower mass arm.

After checking the PL-10 manual at vinyl engine, it appears that Pioneer actually recommended lightweight cartridges in the 4.0 to 5.5 gram weight range, so it would appear that either of these with their high compliance would be a good match with the PL-10, the Ortofon perhaps more so based on weight alone, not that that would be a truly defining parameter.
