Show us your cartridges and/or tonearms!

Hi Tony, what VFT do you use on the MK II. Also does it like tail up or tail down. Thanks.
I tested the type II at 1g VTF. It's not my everyday cartridge. These 3 just happen to be on the last 3 turntables I picked up. Of all the cartridges out there I get 3 good original Shures. I can't imagine the odds of that and the sellers never mentioned what cartridges were on the tables so I never paid a premium for them.

Thanks Tony. I have one that I just fitted on an Empire 208 and wasn't sure. I have it at 1.5gr now so will dial it down.
 
I recently did an arm swap on my Ariston RD-11s from the original SME 3009 Series 2 Improved -

To this - a Nottingham Interspace

By the best of luck the Interspace came with a one-off SME mounting plate that was exactly the same diameter as the Ariston arm board. Both arms running the same Grado Reference 1 Sonata. It already sounds wonderful and I've barely scratched the surface with the set up.

These arms are terrific.
