I need Hign compliance cartridges


Hi, could you tell me

some not very expensive high compliance cartridges (under 1000-1500 usd) MM and MC.  that suit for heavy tonearms. If you know exact figures please indicate them.

I know only that denon 103 is a high compliance mc cartridge.

 

Thank you very much

I use Koetsus in my main system. In my vintage system, I use a Franken Denon 103 that has a micro ridge stylus, has been repotted into a wood body and tweaked by Steve Leung at VAS. His prices are reasonable, he can often supply the completed cartridge and provide video of the exact cartridge he is supplying showing it play and is very responsive to customers with fast turnaround. He is located in N.J. and is also a well-regarded repair and retipping operation. 

Dear @serge8  : If you still own your MS tonearm then it almost does not matters about high/low compliance because that tonearm is a removeble headshell design and you always can have different headshells weigth to match the cartridge or cartridges you want to mount on it, listen and decide with which headshell performs the best for your priorities on listen MUSIC.

Another vote for Koetsu for low compliance cartridges. Can be found in your price range used, if you’re patient. Their flagship Kai is for sale discounted at TMR, but still outside you range. I experienced it as worth saving up for purchase. 

Koetsu makes outstanding cartridges. I have a Rosewood Signature… outstanding. I don’t know about compliance, I let my dealer deal make sure what I buy is compatible with my system. It is.
