Cartridge for JMW 10

I did indeed have this experience and called VPI. Harry suggested the lighter CW. He was very familiar with the scenario of trying to use a lighter weight cart like the ZYX and Dyna D172Mk2 on the 10 arm with the standard CW. The 10 with the standard CW is designed for cart weights in the 7 -12 G range any lower you will neeed to compensate for the weight balance as suggested.Any higher and you'll need the heavyweight model

The effective length of the 10 arm being what it is does indeed make for an interesting fit on your HW series table Im sure, especially with the cover!

Even on my Aries/JMW 10 combo the alignment jig when set in place puts the cart rather forward in the headshell for correct overhang, so im sure yours is correct also. The base of the Aries is larger..so the overhang does not look as prominent I suppose as the HW._ken

Spoke with Mike today at VPI, and he suggested BOTH the lighter drop counterweight and the 3 gram headshell weight. He said I would be better off with the counterweight mass a bit away from the pivot, contrary to popular belief, so I'll get that combo and see what happens.

Brrgrr, need to speak to Mike at VPI. Only # I have is an answering machine that instructs me to go to their website. What # can I reach Mike at? Thanks.

Frogman, I called 732-583-6895. Got the receptionist, I think,then Mike came on the phone.

Try it...good luck.
Great guy to talk to, BTW...
