What cartridge?

[Mike Reed]

Hi Mike, did you mean 850? For the TK850M it says Suitable cartridge weight with head shell 17-35 gr, my HS-25 headshell is 12.1 grams without screws, and the DL103R is 8.1gr to it comes in at 21-22gr with screws I would say, is this not OK or am I mis-understanding something?

In your o.p. you mention the RB250, Adrian, which was not considered satisfactory with low compliance coils, so I don't follow your comment above. It's all about eff. mass anyway, not balancing cart. weights. Bit of confusion here, methinks.

I think the confusion is that Adrian wasn't the OP.
