"Harder" cartridge recomendation
While there are different 'series' of the SME 3012 version one can always find extra weights on ebay.uk. So whatever of Ortofon SPU carts or the FR-7 kinds , the cart weight should cause no problem.My advice would be: buy the cheapest FR-7 you can... 
Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable
There are (many?) records which are concave on one side(convex on the other) and need a clamp to be 'flattened'.For my SP 10 I use the Orsonic 'disc stabilizer' which isonly 200 gr. It is not the weight but 'suction' working method. For my Kuzma ...

Altanpsx, I use the phono cables as provided by Triplanar VII and the Reed (2A). For my SCDA (Sony XA 5400 ES) the 'Silent wire' silver interconnect. From a technicianby ASR I got the advice to use the RCA out when using XLR in.

Dear Bydlo, Your are obviously a Kantian with your a prioriknowledge about dances and carts. No need btw to insult Serbian farmers because of me. Besides it is some kind ofa permanent illusion that to pay more for whatever itemiply 'better', 'secu... 
Headshell Hygiene and SME Standard Stupidity

Dear Lew, your capabilities are incredible. Like Diogenesto Alexander I can only say: 'move a little bit out of the son'.BTW I am sorry for you and Halcro but some LOMC's are better than whatever MM cart there are. Among those I rank Takedas's Miy...

Bydlo, picka ti materina! There is one FR-7fz on ebay.ukfor 1090 GBP. Looks like the underwear of Michelle Pfeifer.Item nr.150862965820. If you are not satisfied you can object by ebay with the argument: 'not as described' (by some Serbian).

Hi Bydlo, your Serbo-Croation is much better then your carts understanding. BTW never thought about to test or check any cart by listening to it? Ostensive investigationmake only sense regarding the (broken) cantilevers and (wear out) styli. You m...

Dear Halcro, the Dutch have this proverb:'protect me myLord from my friends I will protect myself from my enemy'.
