avanti, thanks very much for the excellent A/B/C comparison video by Lp Gear. As much as I've been reading about various cartridges, I was unaware of these videos - let alone one that gives us the three ART9 models. Very helpful. The SME V's stated effective mass is 10/11, just barely into mid mass range. Cart/arm resonance with the ART9XI is in the high 9's, a more comforting number than the ART9's high 8's. Good point about the combo!
noromance, cantilever is correct; I parroted "stylus" from the Lp Gear site. My bad.
