JWM10 with TNT Cartridge help PLEASE

Jeff,

I would tend to agree with you on that single number of dynamic compliance as being perhaps a broad generalization or simplification in absolute terms as the only issue of compatability. But, certainly not one to be ignored as you stated previously.

Intersting to note that indeed the Helikon's Dyn compliance figure of 12 puts it in the area of acceptability and middle ground for use on the JMW...Lyra also recommends mounting the Helikon in a rigid, fixed bearing or linear tracking type tonearm of med. mass. This perhaps lends to suggestion that UniP's are not welcome players for this cart...A sentiment I tend to believe and as others have attested to...

Anyway..I sold my Aries/JMW to return to the more conventional designs once again as there has been much activity on that front and no shortage of many great arms nowadays to try out!..Thanks and happy listening!

Dear radrog: The Sumiko Celebration is a top pmusic performer and at its price a " bargain ": highly recomended over the Benz, ZYX or Shelther.

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.

Thank You Raul. Finally some one answered my question. It seems everyone turned my thread into there thread. I value your opinion greatly.

Thanks Roger

Kehut - Interesting (or maybe not, but anyway I thought it was), took a gander at VPI's website today. They now offer a 3 gram weight for use with low compliance/low mass cartridges. Whether or not it would make a great difference I have no idea but the price was only $15.00.

Roger,

Sorry to be one of the hi-Jackers on your thread. My apologies if that was the case. Keep in mind though, that sometimes you can pick up some valuable info in these discussions, even if it seems irrelevant to your current question. In fact I did answer your question directly regarding the Celebration as a better sounding cart and a good choice over the Benz that you listed. Good luck with your rig! :-)
