I have just bought a used Well Tempered Classic


Hello friends
I have just bought a used Well Tempered Labs Classic, fom here in Australia, It has a upgraded Litz cable from arm, and a Marigo Audio, upgrade for arm cup, all in Imact condition, very rare for down here, My old poor classic can now rest in a box, if I need spare parts!!
1. Is there any more upgrades, that are still avaiable, or maybe second hand e.g Marigo Audio platter upgrade?, also I rember years ago there was some sort of tape, for the tonearm??
Can someone recomend a High output MM cartridge, that will suit the thin arm, I have been out of action, with turntables for 15 years, but wish to start again!!
Many Thanks

If you want to be overwhelmed with ideas for a good MM cartridge (nearly all of them are "high output"), check out the "Who needs MC cartridges when we have MM thread", with over 11,000 posts. But before you buy one, be sure that the tonearm truly has a low effective mass. A thin tube does not always mean low mass. Plus also, IMO, the major problem with WT tonearms is over-damping. I would turn down the damping as much as possible for a high compliance cartridge in that tonearm.
