SPU Royal N on an SME V arm?

Thanks Jcarr,
I have a notion that these are truely very good arms, but then so is an SME-V, right?

Since I also have an SME tt, I count on synergy here and will spend money on music rather.
Thank you for the info though,
Axel

Maybe one more item of interest to report. It seem not to well known that SME makes a higher mass (+30gr) counter weight. This ain't exactly cheap being tungsten and all plus it comes in the actual housing, even though one might argue that the tungsten insert alone could do just fine (it would stick a bit out of the cover though, not perfect enough for SME? I guess so.)
I have followed the DIY advise of my SME dealer and got some Mag-Wheel (lead) balancing weights, flat lead pieces with double sided stick tape. Made some to fit, easy enough and added 30g to the standard weight -- seems to work just fine, till I get the notion to spend some 400$ on the real thing.
It has the effect to increase the effective mass of the arm and it might be somewhere plus ~ 2gram now. The standard weight, depending where it happens to sit, renders the effective arm mass between 10 - 11 gr.

PS: once a V arm user always a V arm user? Well, we'll see...

Assuming you can balance the cartridge with either of two counterweights, the higher mass counterweight does not raise the effective mass (moment of inertia) of the cartridge/arm system. It reduces it.

Howdy Dougdeacon,
effective mass of a tone arm got zilch to do with a cart hanging off it. It's what the arm brings into the equation on it's own.
THEN you add the cart, etc. and figure out the resonance.

If an arm has more 'beef' to it (even at the back) it has increased mass. So my definition, and SME tends to agree, how nice of them.

The inertia bit is another item yet, and it is duly reduced, 'cause the weight is closer to the pivot, so we can agree on that, no problem.
