cartridge for WELL TEMPERED Amadeus


Hi,which one will matched Well Tempered AMADEUS tonearm,light or heavy weight cartridge?thanks

Do you know the effective mass of the Amadeus tonearm? That parameter would be a major determinant of how well a low compliance MC cartridge will "work". Plus, the inherent viscous damping of the WT tonearms is a something that will need some adjustment.
Notec- I have thought about the Frog Gold, or MC10 Special. I have heard references that The Transfig's can be Koetsu like in the midrange, which is appealing. Should have mentioned, I have a TSD15 on a GTA in my main setup.
This is for a Standard Amdeus for my 2nd system. Lewm- I do not, but will check it out. Even though the WT arm is med/lo mass, apparently the damping trough adjustments allow a good amount of carts to match. Back soon on the effective mass. Cheers -Don
EMT TSD15 is a fantastic match for the fixed mounting length of the WT. It's so smooth, yet it can be very dynamic when the music calls for it. My favorite cartridge after years of Lyra and Dynas.
