Default Re: Ceramic cartridge compliance

Do some low cost checks first, Michael.
Is the arm free enough to move in its bearings?
Check the tracking weight with a proper scale.
Is the record OK on another turntable? just to close off that possibility.
Is the stylus and shaft OK?

Only then worry about the cartridge proper.

Sonotone have a decent reputation for their 9TAHC and similar, but 75 quid would make me think of going magnetic.
