Here's a link I found with the owners manual. I think it said 13g.

Oracle, Alphason and what Cartridge?
After 16 years (long story), I unpacked my Oracle Premier and Alphason HR-100MCS and looking to buy a cartridge.
Two questions, I hope you can help me with:
1. Alphason's owner manual has no mention of effective mass. CartridgeDB lists it as 8.5 g, but I've seen online 11 g few times and 13.5 g once. Anybody knows?
2. Oracle and Alphason have in my opinion similar sonic signatures - transparent, fast and airy (little light). What cartridge would put some meat on front end's skinny bones? I'm thinking used $1,000 or little over.
