I'm trying to get 1.5 grams on my grado sonata cartridge, and can't seem to get more than 1-1.25 grams of weight out of the jmw-9 arm mounted on a scoutmaster. Is their anything i'm missing or do I need a different counterweight?
I had the same problem using a Karat with my JMW-9. I contacted VPI and they sent me a headshell weight at no cost. Adds weight AND mass. They also recommended against a lighter counterweight as it will further lower the overall mass of the tonearm.
