Nice cartridge. I had the original 7000 mounted on my ET2 for a short time during a period when my system was making the transition from all ss (Threshold, BEL) to all tube. My original 7000 was a very detailed cartridge which I much preferred to the other Scantech (Lyra Clavis and Spectral) cartridges that I tried around that time. The 7000 was a little warmer and sumptuous than the other two which I found to be way too zippy and lean, but in the context of my all ss/heavily modified Magnepan MGIIIA's there still wasn't enough "meat on the bones" for me. I highly recommend you try the magnesium arm wand. A single leaf spring I-beam will produce a "fuller" sound, but I usually end up with the double leaf spring for a more organized sound that is less "lumpy" in the bass. Good luck!

Will a London decca gold fit on 2.5 alu ?

Thanks so much for your help frogman. Your right the 7000 is a very detailed cart but in my system I still find it to be very musical as well. It is a lot like my Lyra Delos but more resolving, not surprising as they are cousins. So at a compliance of 9 it would be quite low right?

Rule of thumb is that a compliance spec of 12 or lower is considered low compliance.

Frogman, I don't know if you teach , but I do know you are a born teacher !
