Thank you, Romy. What about weight? My tonearm is probably too light in its original form?
I do not now the new SME tonearms. I have M12 but I never tried to get better sound out of it. Still I like heavy arms and SME always were mid mass arms. About the weight - it is also depends. A new 901 cartridge I play at 1.85g and up to 2g when it is getting worn… Still, they are my grams. Different scales measure at different height from platter, so the numbers might vary. The slightly negative VTA is also requires for Shelter 901. As any other needles of “complex” profile the Shelter 901 is very sensitive to… anything.
