Generally, Hadcocks are paired with Grado, Music Maker, or other higher compliance MC cartridges, or alot of MM cartridges. Don't even think about a DL103R on a Hadcock. It's a classic unstabilized unipivot from the 1970's, and has always had a "cult following" with Grado users. Not a bad arm at all, as long as you match the right kinds of cartridges to it.

The 242 is a "modified" unipivot in that it has two pivots and behaves like a more traditional gimbal type arm if you believe the advertisements.
