Breuninger,
I am currently running a CF Black Widow with a AT150mlx on my TD-124 and couldn't be happier. I don't have a lot to compare it to, but I like this combo better than an SME 3009 series II improved with an Ortofon Black that I also own. I like the BW with the AT150 so much that I bought another AT150 and a replacement stylus just before the price increase several months ago. I wanted to be sure to have it for a while. Both of these would be high compliance cartridges. I have also tried the Ortofon Black in an Audio Dynamics LMF2, a relatively low mass carbon fiber arm (8G), and still prefer the ultra low mass Black Widow with the AT cart. With a somewhat limited budget, I think it makes sense to try items that can be mixed and matched. That way I can try all combinations. With some items from opposite ends of the spectrum, swapping out cartridges is less likely to be a viable alternative. It is interesting that you have had some success with lower compliance cartridges with this arm. Have you tried any MC carts?
