Good cartridge for unipivot arm?

The high compliance Cartridge Man Music Maker 3 would be ideal in that tonearm.

Pauly, I agree with you except for low compliance carts. They can give the unipivots problems. As usual it will depend on which arm and which cart.

Dan, I am a die-hard unipivot guy with some low compliance carts, so I am a bit concerned by your post. I have just bought a 12" Sheu Classic (14 gram unipivot) and am planning to run my DL103 on it. What type of problems are you referring to?

I have been a long time Morch UP4/Koetsu user, and ever since I started using the 14-gram arm the sound has been nothing short of jaw dropping. I would be very disappointed if the Denon 103/Sheu proves to be a lame duck.

Thanks
Paul

Pauly, I offered my comments only in general terms about uni's and low compliance cartridges that I have tried. The effective mass of the arm is going to work to your advantage with the stiffer cantilever. If you have the mass to load the cantilever abit then I would suspect all would be well. If there is not quite enough loading on the cantilever due to the mass of the arm and cartridge then the uni can tend to wobble.

I have run a 103r on a Graham 2.2. For the most part the 2.2 does great with this cart, but dynamic passages tend to loose focus a bit. This does not happen when I mount the 103r on my Basis Vector, a modified uni. Mind you these differences I hear are suttle and the 103r has a mass of around 8 grams.

Well, I ended up going with an NOS Ortofon VMS 30 MkII, per another user's suggestion.

Once I receive it, and get everything setup, I'll let you know how it sounds.

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions.
