Everything. You need to buy the MK2 or the 500.

Tonearm for Technics SP-15
I have a Technics SP-15 turntable with a Grace 707 arm and a Grace F9E cartridge with a Soundsmith new stylus. This combination sounds great but is limiting. The 707 tonearm has a fixed headshell and it does not allow me to easily swap other MM high compliance catridges or match compliance requirments MC cartridges. Suggestions welcome from those more expert than I.

Dear @jpjones3318 : Any knowledge analog audiophile knows the superiority of that Technics state of the art tonearm design against a just normal Triplanar one that ( not only in this regards. ) that can't compare in any way against the Technics unique VTA on the fly mechanism. By comparison the Triplanar VTA adjustement is of the " stone era " vs the superlative MK2.

Dear friends : The OP has a lot of alternatives for tonearm other than Technics that it's not the best tonearm ever made what is the best is the VTA mechanism used in the Epa 500 and MK2.
In the other side the OP has not to buy a vintage tonearm when today ones are really good and more important comes with full warranty from the today manufacturers.

Dear @arneama22 : Your Grace is very good tonearm, yes not so easy to change cartridges as tonearms with removable headshells. You can find out a Grace 1040 that's really good removable headshell design.
Btw, @billwojo you are rigth about Technics tonearms and the EPA 250 that I still own is even superior to the EPA 100.
The 250 comes with 3 different arm wands and with the same VTA unique mechanism made it with the EPA 100-MK2 that's that VTA mechanism the best ever made in any tonearms including today top models.
Here with the SP-15 OP one:
