BEST TONEARM FOR HIGH COMPLIANCE MM

Dear 'gonners'

I have a lovely Pickering XSV 4000 MM cartridge. I understand this to be from the heyday of high compliance MM cartridges when the correct tonearm was lightweight etc.
As a result of this I have decided to have 2 arms on my turntable - one for this, and another for my Transfiguration Temper V
I already have a Moerch DP6 and am considering a light arm wand, but I was simply gonna use this for my Temper V.
Can someone recommend a tonearm from the heyday of light arms in the 70's that will be suitable - thanks

Dear lohanimal: In the past that kind of tonearms was the " fashion " nothing more than that. Please don't worry of what people said in those very old times.

Yor cartridge is around 30 cu ( tyhe same as the Stanton similar model. ) and remember that comes with that damped brush. 

What tyou have to look for is a well damped tonearm and that's all. If you want a vintage one you can't find nothing better than the Technics EPA 100 or the Lustre GST-801 where in both cases your cartridge will shines!

Regards and enjoy the music,
