Grado woodie with SOTA/Origin Live?


I am picking up a new SOTA Nova with Origin Live Encounter arm. Yipee! I am also considering a new high output cartridge, such as a Reference series Grado (Master, most likely). I have read about hum with Grados (due to them being unshielded?) with some turntables. Will this be an issue with a SOTA Nova? Is a Grado Reference Master a good match for an Origin Live Encounter arm? Thanks!

You might find the 15 gram effective mass of the Origin Live and the relatively high compliance Grado a troublesome combination.

I'd proceed with caution on this.
