Ideas on table/arm combo for Miyajima mono cart


I have a Miyajima Premium BE Mono cartridge. It is a low compliance cartridge that works best with a high mass arm. I am looking for suggestions on high mass arms/table combinations that might work well with this cartridge. Thanks

FWIW, I use a Miyajima Kansui, also low compliance though not quite as low, on an SME M2-12R, mounted on a Nantais Reference Lenco. This 12-inch arm gets little attention but is quite good for low-compliance cartridges and SPUs. Basically, it's an updated version of the old 3012R with improved bearings and wiring, and a VTA thumb-wheel (crucial, to me). The 16-gram Ortofon LH-9000 headshell works very well on this arm with the Kansui. I've also tried this cartridge on a Phantom II, Tri-planar VIIuii, and Clearaudio Universal arm but the SME was the clear winner, IMO.
