Thank you for your response. Until I got the CS 5000 tone arm mass was not much of an issue. Should I try to stick with a cart less than 5g? It seems Ortofon would be a good line. They were installed on Duals as part of the tt package. Could you look at the Ortofon 5x for me? I read a forum where someone recommended it as a mc. Meanwhile, I will check out Raul's post.
low output mc vs high output mc for Dual CS 5000
I really like the sound of a DL-160 on my Technics SL 1210mk5. I want that kind of sound from my CS 5000, so I am leaning toward a low mass mc cart. I was looking at the Ortofon X5 (high output) and the Tango (low output). I have read that low output carts do no perform well on a CS 5000 low mass arm. If that i the case, I will probably have to go with a higher output. Is that true? Any recommendations besides the X5. Is the Dynavector 10S5 too much for a CS 5000?
