Boon recommended an Ortofon.

How about a Denon hi-output MC? What other options do you feel works
well with this arm?

Hm. How about under $250?

Ortofon 2M Blue. It's $199. I've heard it on a couple of Rega arm/
tables now, and it's a great match.

But I must warn you that unless you know how to solder, you don't
deserve it.

Can I rivet instead?

((Riveting has always been for sissies. Anyone can grab a riveting gun
and rivet a feral cat to the hood of a car. Soldering takes a lot more
knowledge, especially when it comes to fusing bone to metal. Boon.))

*Doofuses both.

*Riveting actually is more of an art than soldering. I mean real
riveting, with a riveter and bucking bars. But it isn't how you join
electrical connections, usually. A cart install usually doesn't
involve soldering anyway, so this is a stupid comment in the first
place.

You are egregiously defective, Bratzi. I would guess mental issues
such as those that you display are beyond the reach of current
treatments.

Wow.

*My point is that there is a purpose to matching carts and arms that
involves the compliance of the cartridge, the mass of the tone arm,
and several other factors. Few seem to know anything about it anymore.
There used to be some good articles on it in hi fi magazines but since
the late 70s it has become a black art. Stereopile and the like do not
like procedure, rigor or science, so you won't find it there.

Oh, kind of like where I answered your inane stoopid comment earlier?

Let's revisit that exchange! LOL!

**********
Are you even slightly aware of what makes a certaijn cart work with a
certain arm? No, because your IQ is too low. You're an imbecile at
best, bordering on an idiot.

LOL! Pardon me for asking opinions about audio on an audio opinion
group. I should've posted this, apparently, to a Nazi group. LOL!

Are you referrng to compliance, etc.?

No, Bratzi, you are too ignorant to know how stoopid you appear to
everybody else. Never mind.
**********

That last comment by me remains incredibly accurate if I do say so
myself. LOL!

*Vinylsnatch doesn't appear to know anything about it either. But
Arny, for all his faults, probably did if he would deign to share his
knowledge.

Now this makes total sense to me. Crazy people worshipping other crazy
people is like a double-negative, and is therefore 'logical' and
'normal'.
