Cartridge

Body wears out on cheap ADC carts, glorious as they sound.
The worst disaster in Analogue history was the demise of Sonus carts, founded by original ADC people.

Stringreen, how can I get in touch with you?

I'd look at Grado....gold is 220 with 5mv output the statement platinum wood body is 350 at .5mv may not have enough output

yup… i am just now trying out the mapleshade tonearm resonance kit… just starting to listen on an already heavy sme 3009 - it may solve your problem. will post an initial review next week

Maybe you can find an old sonus blue. I used it when I had the same tonearm and thought it was a good match.

Consider a JICO SAS in one of the Shure bodies (V-15-III,IV ,V or ultra 500) or a SAS in a M97xE. SAS styli are all high compliance -should be a reasonable match for your very low mass arm.
