Purchased a decent Audio Technica turntable with the stock cartridge and want to replace the original cartridge with one I have owned for many years. I am concerned with the additional weight of the Pickering XV-15 cartridge with the D1200 stylus and brush that I want to use. The weight of the Audio Technica cartridge with headshell and hardware is 15.525 grams. The weight of the Pickering with head shell, brush and hardware is 17.8 grams. The stock Audio Technica head shell and hardware is 10.7 grams.
The only information I was able to come up with is the Audio Technica can use a cartridge between 3.5 grams and 8.5 grams. I can find no information as to compliance or tone arm weight.
Haven't used it yet as I'm still trying to find more information so any help or comments would be appreciated.
