Cartridge Suggestions for a Black Widow Tonearm

It is also not particularly rigid if I remember, I would stay with MM. MCs generate considerably more energy in tracking so they are best used with either a high mass or rigid lower mass arm. The Grace 707 worked well with some MCs despite having a 6 gram mass but off the top of my head I think the BW is more like 4. As Nsgarch said you can look it up but with this arm I think you will find MM works better

I agree with all of the above. That said, a vintage XLM MKII Improved ADC cartridge is a good match provided you can find one that doesn't ride too low.

I used to use the Ortofon OM 20 and 30 series that was low mass. It matched up nicely with the widow and tracked most everything. (Did fly out of the groove like a rocket launcher on Telarc 1812 when the cannons blasted).

Decent sound for the bucks.

Have Fun.

I owned a Black Widow a number of years ago.... I am not aware of a low compliance verson. Mosin is correct the BW does not like moving coils.

Dear Pechichi: +++++ " and want to get a good cartridge for it, preferably a MC. " +++++

it is clear that the tonearm prefer a high compliance cartridge that normaly you can find in the MM/MI " area ".
I can tell you that there is nothing wrong with MM/MI against MC even are better quality performers in many ways, you can try it and I'm sure you will be satisfied with the MM alternative.

here you can read something about where you can find ( too ) some MM cartridge names that can help you:
