I can't find the answer, JMW 9 tone arm cartridge


I have the Scout with the std. JMW Tone Arm and I want to try a Denon 103R or the Shelter 501. Right now I have the Dynavector DV10X5. ( High out put and I want the Low out put MC.
How do I determine if I need a head shell weight and if so how much? I look at specs and do not understand all that I am reading. Are all Denon 103R shipped from Japan direct?
This is my first attempt in changing a cartridge so I have decided between these 2 and any input would be appreciated.
Also if a head shell weight is needed where do you buy them ?
Thanks,
Dave

Your question is best served by VPI. Also, be aware, that low output carts may theoretically sound better than the higher output models because of a smaller coil, however, your preamp MUST be able to handle the lower output. Check with the cartridge AND preamp manufacturers for their recommendation, and it may not be the low output for the best sound.....
