Low compliance cartridges

Hi Dan_ed - Sorry if my initial thread was unclear. However, I am not looking for a moving coil cartridge. I wanted suggestions for low compliance moving magnet cartridges within a price range of $500.00/$1000.00. As you point out, my current Clearaudio cartridges are medium compliance. Quite simply put - are there any low compliance moving magnet cartridges available in the price range of $500/1000.00? The Mcintosh phono stage is designed for MM cartridges. Didn't mean to make this so difficult. Tks/Rgs.

Yes, I applogize. Monday morning fog brain here. I overlooked the fact that you're looking for MM.

Dear Wepratt: I don't know any MM cartridge at any price with low compliance figure.

+++++ " best results with low to mid compliance ... " +++++

Your MM cartridges meet this statement: are medium compliance, so you are on target.

Regards and enjoy the music.

not sure of the compliance figure, but perhaps the audio technica 150mlx will work? i think the linn adikt could be a non ultra high compliance cart. my personal recommendation would be a Garrott Optima series cart (at least i think thats the series) available at needle doctor. extremely musical and should match well with the mac sound. compliance not too high for MM either ( i think like 15 or 18)...

Wepratt,
I don't know of any low compliance MM cartridges, but I can tell you that the OL Silver with the TWL mod will work with cartridges up to 15cu rating, and that should provide some selection guidelines for you.
