BEST TONEARM FOR HIGH COMPLIANCE MM


Dear 'gonners'

I have a lovely Pickering XSV 4000 MM cartridge. I understand this to be from the heyday of high compliance MM cartridges when the correct tonearm was lightweight etc.
As a result of this I have decided to have 2 arms on my turntable - one for this, and another for my Transfiguration Temper V
I already have a Moerch DP6 and am considering a light arm wand, but I was simply gonna use this for my Temper V.
Can someone recommend a tonearm from the heyday of light arms in the 70's that will be suitable - thanks

As Al mentioned; I've been a very happy Magnepan Unitrac I
user, since 1981. Actually; I've got two, and narry a hint of
trouble with either. They pop up on eBay(or were) often.
The Grace 707 and Maggie both have the same low mass(7 gm),
while the Infinity was claimed to be 3 gm, at the stylus.
One of the nicer Unitrac attributes is the removable
headshell & plug-in cartridge wiring, which makes it much
easier to swap carts. Neither the Grace or Infinity offer that
convenience. It's really easy to dial in VTA/SRA, on the
fly, as well.
