Cartridge for Micro Seiki MAX-237

Dear Rloogie: +++++ " Max-237 with the s arm to mount on my upcomming... " +++++

This is what you posted and I " follow you ", there is no S shape MS tonearm instead there is the J shaped where all what I posted belongs to it.

yes your headshell is one of the original headshells, over the time MS had two-three different " original " headshells.

The other two arm wands are the sraight ones, one a low effective mass and the other in the high medium effective mass. Now if you find it or not what you need to find out are the different counterweights that could help you ( not only with the other arm wands ) to try different cartridges with different headshells.

Btw, I agree with Radicalsteve about the damping, it is better if you don't use it.

Regards and enjoy the music.

Raul,
I have a Max-282 with J-arm and Koetsu Platinum. Do you worry about the inability to change azimuth?
Thank you,
George

Dear George: The Azymuth subject is a critical factor to achieve the best from any cartridge due that no one stylus cartridge comes in perfect alignment.

I never mount my KRSP on the MS tonearm because I obtain a near stellar quality sound reproduction on the Lustre one where and through the Lustre headshell you can make Azymuth changes.

Try to find a headshell with Azymuth movement and try it with your Koetsu and maybe you could have an improvement.

Regards and enjoy the music.
