Tonearm / Cartridge Compatibility
I have purchased an Audio Technica AT-1100 tonearm and want to know if an Ortofon Quintet Blue cartridge is compatible. I see comments about tonearms and cartridges being high, medium, and low compliance. If I install the Quintet Blue on the AT-1100 tonearm, how will I know if it is compatible? Will I be able to hear/ recognize the compatibility or incompatibility?
