A Denon 103R or a modified 103 might be just what you are after. SoundSmith MIMC Star is an amazing low compliance cart (especially after it’s fully broken in).
I need Hign compliance cartridges
Hi, could you tell me
some not very expensive high compliance cartridges (under 1000-1500 usd) MM and MC. that suit for heavy tonearms. If you know exact figures please indicate them.
I know only that denon 103 is a high compliance mc cartridge.
Thank you very much
Serge

I use Koetsus in my main system. In my vintage system, I use a Franken Denon 103 that has a micro ridge stylus, has been repotted into a wood body and tweaked by Steve Leung at VAS. His prices are reasonable, he can often supply the completed cartridge and provide video of the exact cartridge he is supplying showing it play and is very responsive to customers with fast turnaround. He is located in N.J. and is also a well-regarded repair and retipping operation. |
Dear @serge8 : If you still own your MS tonearm then it almost does not matters about high/low compliance because that tonearm is a removeble headshell design and you always can have different headshells weigth to match the cartridge or cartridges you want to mount on it, listen and decide with which headshell performs the best for your priorities on listen MUSIC.
