Good Matching Cartridge For Micro Seiki 505

You'll find it hard to find a cartridge that doesn't work with this creation

There's no such thing as a universal pickup arm. An arm must be matched to a cartridge that's suitable to the arm's mass.

I would have missed out on dozens of glorious arm/cartridge combinations had I not discovered the error of this 'myth'

It's easier to get away with a mismatched arm and cartridge on a system that isn't full range, and of course many systems can't play the lowest octaves. But as for arm/cartridge matching being a "myth," you can only believe that if you believe physics and geometry are also myths.

@sampsa55, I didn't suggest that there's but one one specific effective mass cartridge that will work with any given pickup arm. A pickup arm will accept cartridges with a range of effective mass, and some pickup arms are more forgiving than others. But, there are limits. For example, you wouldn't want to put a Koetsu Black in an Infinity Black Widow arm.
