Tonearm/Cart Matching Assistance - SAEC 407/23

Hi Travis. I read your last question about this, and didn't know the answer. However, since I do know that the SAEC is a knife-edge bearing design, I'd stay away from low compliance cartridges with this one due to possible bearing chatter. Since is it probably a fairly heavy arm, high compliance is also out. So to be on the safe side, a medium compliance cartridge will probably do the job with least chance of major problems. I couldn't find any effective mass specs for this arm on the web.

Thanks Tom. FWIW, the arm is supposed to accomodate "cart+headshell" weights of 8-33.5 grams and carts with tracking force of 0-4 grams (though another source suggests 0-2.5g). From what a few Japanese dealers have told me, this arm was oftenused with an Ortofon SPU cart/headshell combo here in Japan back in its day (15-20yrs ago) and the SPU cart/headshell unit is about 30-32g if I have it figured out correctly.

Also, can you suggest where I'd start looking for a medium compliance cart (makers, etc) and what medium compliance is in terms of numbers?

I am looking for a owners manual for a SAEC 407/23 tonearm.
At the least I need to find out how to set the slider weight at the rear of the arm and the string weight used for the anti-scate. Can anyone HELP???
