Which cartridge for Graham 2.2 arm?

@chakster , Correct, it was very poorly made. I had one.

@tzed , check out the Grado 1042. Also, you can always add mass to the tonearm to make it work with somewhat less compliant cartidges.

@tzed , Excuse me, Goldring 1042!

Hmmm, I hadn't considered messing with Mr. Graham's design. I have seen arms that have weighs to increase their mass though so I suppose it's not a terrible idea ;-)
I'll look at that Goldring, thanks.

I've got a 2.0 updated to the 2.2.  It came in the deluxe kit with overhang tool and an auxiliary counterweight.  I understood the effective mass to be 12g.  Seems about right.  A medium mass arm but capable of going higher mass if you want.  use the auxiliary cw and also you can use a headweight in order to dial mass in for a particular cartridge. 

I think of cartridges with medium or low compliance as potential match-up material.  Down to 10 (x 10¯6   cm/dyne)*  or as high as 16.  I've tried some lighter moving magnet cartridges with sub-optimal results, I thought.  The arm wants lower compliance.  It liked my Shelter 501-II.  And works nice with the DL-103r.  It was fine on an Ortofon Jubilee.  Beautiful output.  I feel the arm allows the cartridge to speak fully when the mass and compliance are right.  High quality intricately machined tonearm.  Delicate and beautiful.

Mr Jonathan carr uses it.. so Lyra can be a good candidate
