MM cart. Recommendation

Dopogue, could you explain what you mean by "high compliance" in regards to matching my tonearm and cartridge?
The Shure sure sounds like a good choice.

Guess it's time for more research based on these suggestions. 4yanx - I measure about 226mm from the edge of the spindle or 230mm from the center. That puts the stylus tip pretty darn close to the 240mm from the pivot(not easy to measure). Did you find it difficult to set this arm up? Maybe it's a lack of patience but I can't quite get a grasp on the whole "weights on the pin" thing. It seems capable of such minute adjustments but the sheer manualness of the adjusting is like trying to hammer in a finishing nail with a sledgehammer. Take the VTA for instance.

Do you know if the Grado cartridges are high compliance?

Aha! Just figured out the compliance thing. Thanks for the info guys.

Quite the education. Thanks again.

Well I think it's down to the Shure or Grado (Ref.Platinum or Sonata). Any other contenders?

4yanx, what is your cartridge?

I bought the Shure and it sounds great. Thanks all!!
