SME 3009 non removeable

Hi all, What cartridges fit the SME 3009 non removable arm. I use a Grado gold , maybe I should just do the stylists upgrade

Thanks, Mike

I have been using Denon mc cartridges for 40 years (along with some Grado's). Yes there are even better-sounding mc cartridges (for a higher price, of course!) - but the venerable 103 punches so far above its weight that it's an easy recommendation!

Yet no less an expert than AJ VanDenHul considers it a very good cartridge - and a fine performer even unmodified! So there! Worried about its resonance frequency? Just add about 5 grams (a US nickel) to the headshell to compensate!

(2) 103's, a 103R, a 103D, a Gold Anniversary 103, a 301 and a 304. They are all fine performers! The best probably being the 304.
