Audio Technica AT-OC9ML/II Questions


Would the AT-OC9ML/II cartridge be a good match for a ClearAudio Satisfy Carbon tonearm on a Performance SE table? It seems to be a very good value, especially for the sale price at LP Gear, and it would leave me some money towards a good used phono stage (any suggestions?) that would handle MC.

If not the AT-OC9ML/II, then what cartridge & compliance rating would work well with the Satisfy Carbon arm? The compliance rating issue is kind of confusing to me at this point. Thanks in advance. BTW, I listen primarily to 60s, 70s, & 80s soft rock, rock, jazz, & some country also.

I am using a AT OC9ML MKII in my Carbon Satisfy arm and it does sound excellent. May I suggest a Vista Audio Phono Pre.
Excellent sound for $300 fully adjustable.
That I where I got mine. Just make sure the cantilever is straight
mine was some had problems but since had been replaced by LPGear. Nice Cart for the $297 price.
They are a AT authorized Dealer so AT would honor the warranty anyway.
