Keegiam, you might have to add a little weight to your headshell. No problem. Every time you change cartridges you should check your resonance frequency with a test record as there is a fair degree of variability in these specs. Trust but verify.
AT-ART9XI Cartridge - Reduced Compliance
Hi folks, I'm leaning toward the AT-ART9 cartridge for my SME V. The new version - the ART9XI - has a thicker solid boron stylus (was .26mm, now .28mm) and slightly lower compliance (was 18, now 15 x10-6).
The newer version costs $300 more ($1,300 v. $1,000). I'm inclined to buy the old one. Any opinions? (Please keep in mind I bought my SME V 30 years ago when it was $2k even.) Thanks in advance!
