SoundSmith EZ Mount Cartridge Screws


Planning to use these to mount my rebuilt Clearaudio Virtuoso to the Clearaudio Satisfy tonearm. Has anybody used them? Which set sounds best in your setup? The screws come in 3 different weights--I'm wondering which loading will work best. Do I just have to try each and listen, or is there a formula for the weight to use. Thanks in advance for your answers.

I just installed the brass ones last night. Not a whole lot of listening time but the music seems more focused and the bass seems tighter. This amonunted to a 5g increase in weight for me. According to the charts above that puts me around 9 hz resonance. I might try lighter to see what happens.
Also, I would like to know what, if any, negative consequences, there are to using them.
Tketcham - I'm using it on my JMW due to its low mass also. Even though I'm using a Dynavector cart that VPI suggests I'm having a bit of sibilance issues I'm trying to dial out. It seems to be helping. Once I dial my alignment in with my Mint protractor I'm hoping it will be a thing of the past.
