Sme 3009 II ..... wich cartridge?


Hi,
I just bought a thorens TD124 II with SME 3009 II tonearm. I have three cartridges that I can use with this set up: DENON 103R with wood case, NAGAOKA MP-50, and SHELTER 501 II; my question is, wich one do you consider have better sinergy with this set up?. Thanks in advance

SME 3009 II likes high compliance cartridges. I used to have one years ago. I don't know anything about the NAGAOKA but I am afraid both the DENON and the SHELTER are too stiff (low compliance) for the SME.

An ideal match would be something like a Shure V15.
