Guys, I like the Jelco arms but they are too heavy for the 2M series of cartridges which are on the higher compliance side of things.
A lighter arm also gives you more flexibility in the future as you can always add weight. Harder to take it away. The Origin Live arms would be a better match for his cartridge. If Paul were into Moving Coil cartridges than either arm will do.
Don't listen to millercarbon. He thinks all of our styluses are "jittering" around in the groove. I'm all for lower effective mass but this jitter thing is nonsense. I would love to see proof that a Sound Smith cartridge tracks better than say an Ortofon at the same price point.
