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.

The OC-9ML/II is a very good cartridge. It will work just fine in your arm (it is generally forgiving of arm mass). You can always add more mass to your arm if you think it would improve performance.

If you can pop for a Herron phono stage, even a used VTPH-1mc is a great bargain, it is well worth the investment. (I use ALL Herron Audio electronics, nothing else in my system.)
