For adding weight/mass to a tonearm, a model train store will sell you some little squares of lead you can put on the headshell (or even between it and the cartridge, to damp the cartridge body's vibrations somewhat).
Cartridge/arm matching
Hi. I have to admit I know next to nothing on this subject. I have a Rega RB 250 arm with a Shelter 501 mk 11 cartridge. There's been some suggestion that that may be a less than great match as it's a medium mass arm with a low compliance cartridge.
I'm on a very tight budget… don't really want to change the arm as I've rewired it with Cardas & bought an Expressimo Half Moon Heavyweigh counterweight (the latter made a massive positive difference). Would a Denon DL 103R be a better match for the arm?
