If you put in the information this will show you if your cartridge and arm are compatible!

Thanks Yogi!

One question: When using that table do you include the weight of the headshell in the total mass? 

The mass of the tonearm should include the headshell. If the Technics arm is 12 grams that would be with the headshell!

I am not an owner of this nice table, but have heard one with an already mentioned cart.

Audio Technica ART9. Very believable presentation. I have one on my table-VPI Classic.

If you have the gain for a lower output, ART7 via Ebay seller for a few bucks less. It may be an option for added refinement over the ART9?

I have a Technics SL-1210MKII and I used a AT-150MLX which is out of production but still available on the web.  The 150 was a great match with my older stock arm.  I changed out the arm to a Jelco SA750 a few years ago and it has remains my go to cartridge.  Search the forums there are tons of positive comments.

Note.  I have used a Denon DL-103 with the stock arm of the 1210 but used a 11 gram head shell not the 7 gram technics one.  It was not the best match but worked ok.  After changing the arm to the Jelco it came to life.  It will work on the stock arm but not to it's full potential.
