Compatibility of SME arm and Air Tight cartridge


I am contemplating changing the arm on my technics sp 10 to an SME 309 or Series IV with detachable headshell. Would this a combination that would work or is there something else that might be better? I am not changing the plinth from the origiinal obsidian plinth at this time.
Thanks.

Dear Aronsss: I know there are many alternatives on tonearms for that cartridge or for other cartridges. See in what your system is and due that you own the SP-10 IMHO a good choice could be this:

the EPA-100 is a fine tonearm and mate very well with your TT and with several different cartridges.

Dear Mitch: Dynavector XV-1 could be a good choice or something else like:

due that the EPA-100 is a removable headshell design you can match with different cartridges.

I have an SME V with the Airtight PC-1 on an SME 10 table. It is a wonderful combination. Albert Porter has the Technics SP10 with a 12" SME V and Airtight Supreme which he upgraded from the PC-1. The SME arm and airtight combination is very compatible, IMHO.
