Cartridge for JMW 10

Spoke with Mike today at VPI, and he suggested BOTH the lighter drop counterweight and the 3 gram headshell weight. He said I would be better off with the counterweight mass a bit away from the pivot, contrary to popular belief, so I'll get that combo and see what happens.

Frogman, I called 732-583-6895. Got the receptionist, I think,then Mike came on the phone.

Try it...good luck.
Great guy to talk to, BTW...

Kehut, just curious if you find the need for the VPI 3 gram headshell weights with your cartridge, or is the 5 gram ZYX OK with this arm as is

Thanks for the suggestion , guys. The counterweight seems the way to go.

Curious, Kehut, if you have run into this with your arm....The cartridge must be installed at the very end of the arm to get the proper position regarding the tracking protractor. This means that when I clost the dustcover, it actually taps the tip of the cartridge, unless I pull it forward a bit.I assumed I must have mounted the cartridge wrong at first, but several checks verify it's where it should be. I use the HWjr Mk4 table, ang gather the base is not designed for a cartidge like this, rather one with the stylus more forward so that there is clearance.
Makes one cautious when having a glass and spinning some discs, let me tell ya!!
Will get the lighter counterweight ASAP.
Thanks again.
