Going out of the manufacturer's recommmended mass range could cause a problem with resonance. But, it is possible that it wouldn't be a problem with your particular system. I would check the total mass figures for the arm and cartridge on the mass/resonance charts for a guideline. Around 12 is a good figure, but as low as 8, and as high as 16 could be ok.
Ortofon Jubilee on Ekos II - comments?
I'm looking at an Ortofon Jubilee cartridge for my LP12/Ekos II. Linn says that a cartridge for the Ekos II should weigh between 3 and 9 grams and the Jubilee weighs 10.5 grams. Will this be a problem?
I am also considering:
Lyra Helikon
Transfiguration Spirit
Benz Micro Ruby 2 (for $1800 with trade in)
Associated equipment:
Linn Linto phono stage (64 dB of gain)
Plinius SA102 amp M16 pre
Verity Audio Parsifal Encore speakers
any comments?
thanks for any advice,
