I use a Linn LP 12 with basik arm as one of my analogue sources. Have been using a Grado Gold cartridge for a while now. I recently found a Sony VC 8 E moving coil cartridge at a friends clearing out "sale". It is clealry a good cartridge even having a listing on The Vitage Knob (TVK) site. I am not entirely clued up on cartridge - arm matching and need advice about wether this cartridge can be mounted on the Linn Basik arm. It has a mass of 15,5g which seems quite heavy to me - it feels a lot heavier than my other cartridges.

Not too familiar with compliance and other stats related to arms and cartridges and would apreciate advice from more knowledgeable others in this field

Regards
