I am looking for an arm with hight effective mass for a Miyajima mono cartridge. Supposedly those cartridges are not finicky about VTA but horizontal travel of the needle is everything, and I wonder if this arm with high horizontal stability would be an excellent choice for such a cartridge. The good Miyajima cartridges have compliance of only 8 um/Dyne. Any thoughts? Also, I need to mount the arm on a SOTA turntable which apparently has the armboard sunk somewhat lower than your average depth. Can anyone comment on whether the arm might have a problem getting high enough off the armplate to play properly?
