This might help - the 17d IS a very good cartridge, BUT - it is very light in weight (5 grams)and won't work well without adding a cartridge head weight on this arm. It will sound like there is no bass - exactly like the first comment in this thread. For better performance, I would go with the Blackbird or the Shelter 501 Mk IIat this price point as being far better with this arm and much less hassle to set up. Enjoy!
