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

Yes I had several back in the day, good as it gets.
Classic combo was with Infinity Black Widow.

I would not be afraid to use one on the Pro-ject 9cc
arm that comes on the better Pro-ject tables, and which can
be bought separately.
Hadcock was a fav too.

Actually most were used on better Sony, Sansui, Pioneer
TT's with good results so it wasn't All that high compliance, not like ADC or Sonus that really needed those skinny arms.

4000 was a quadraphonic cart..
with ADC you must be SURE to get all THREE collar weights , only way to adjust tracking force .
