Two cartridge ranges that fit the requirements of under 7g high compliance under $200 Grado Prestige series - high compliance, 5.5gm Ortofon OM Series - high compliance, 5gm Note that Audiotechnica 95's/Nagaoka's are NOT high compliance.

Like I said , the Grado will work fine in a low mass arm! http://www.mh-audio.nl/Calculators/RF.html
