UPDATE.
I went back to CartridgeDB site and noticed, that Alphason Xenon was listed as 13 grams effective mass. It didn't make sense. I knew, that Xenon was just a lower spec HR-100S with the same architecture, so I clicked on Xenon owner's manual and there it was:
Effective mass - Hr-100S 13g, Opal 13g, Xenon 13g, Delta 15g.
Suitable for cartridges with compliances up to 35cu.
I guess, they overlooked the spec on the early production HR-100S and added info to later model arms. That makes my HR-100MCS compatible with many more cartridges.
Now I just have to pick a cartridge, that will balance out slightly light character of Oracle Premier/Alphason combo.
I know, that Alphason/Koetsu was a popular match, but I'm looking for more options...
