Thank you, I looked at the goldring models, I very much considered that very model, I may be missing something, but to get greater than 1.5 tracking force, wont I have to go to a different anti-skate/counter weight etc? or just max out the stock tracking weight in it's stock form?? Goldring says it likes to track at 1.7... Although it may sound perfect at 1.5... My arm seems very close actual vs. indicated tracking force.. thanks again!
sme tonearm cartridge help Please?? 3009 S2
I have the S2 improved with detachable shell..I have never used this arm, I have looked at many forums and a lot of folks have educated guesses etc. But I was wondering if anyone had actually used the ortofon OM 20 or 30 with this arm? The numbers come out well with the specs from ortofon.... I need a 200 dollar or so cartridge and am looking for some real world advice. I have extremely detailed speakers so I am afraid of too much harshness...if someone has a better combo they have tried I am open to suggestions... but from what i have seen in the cartridge world, anything that tracks at 1.5 grams or less the ortofon seems like the choice. Thanks everyone for any insight!
