Default OK, now how about cartridges for an RB-250 arm

I've got 3 shells that span a range of more than 2-1 in mass. *Here's
an Ortofon shellhttp://www.needledoctor.com/Ortofon-LH-2000-Headshell
weighing in at 12 grams. *Solid aluminum. *IIRC, the Sumiko shells are
even more.


Sumiko doesn't have a removeable headshell any more, 2pid. You're
talking the 1980s.

PS: The mass of that arm is 12, just like my RB-250. LoL.

My AT shell weighs under 6. * All these factors come into play in
matching an arm and a cart. * A small change in mass at the cart end
of the arm is a large change in mass at the counterbalance as well.


ALERT! ALERT! ALERT! IF YOU'RE TRYING TO KEEP A POS 30-YEAR OLD TABLE
OPERATING OUT OF A SENSE OF NOSTALGIA, THEN CAREFULLY HEED 2PID'S
WORDS! (If you're interested in good fidelity, maybe not so much.)

Go to NeedleDoctor.com and tell us all how many modern tables or arms
have removeable headshells, dum-dum. Not even SME does any more. I
only saw the Ortofon arms and a Denon table that did. Go find more and
earn valuable prizes!

You're stuck in the 1980s which explains your mullet. LoL.

LoL. As Boon said, "Most modern arms will work with most modern
cartridges". You've done nothing to prove him wrong but sadly you've
exposed yourself as an imbecile...again.
