SPU Royal N on an SME V arm?


Hi all,
anyone that has experience to relate about an Ortofon "SPU Royal N" (naked no SPU head-shell) on a SME V tonearm?

You would be best off to match w. an Ikeda or SME 3012. Any high mass arm would be much better.
Get an Ikeda IT345, the 9 inch version. There is one here. I am listing my 12 inch but in your case the 9 inch is best. It should match. Or an FR 64 but I forget which is the high mass one, but I think the 64X is low mass. Also excellent and a few listed on Agon. You just need a high mass headshell w. it. Some like the FR arms better than the Ikeda, although I have no experience.
