One of the reasons that the Grace 707 and the F9 series worked so well together is that the cartridge/stylus was high compliance. The Grace is a low mass arm and should not be used with low compliance carts. Look for a figure greater than 12X 10-to-the-minus6 cm/dyne (15 is better) So generally avoid Grado, Denon,Monster, most Supex, Dynavector. Go for Shure, Sumiko Blue Point, AudioTechnica,Ortofon, some Signet models. If in doubt, check with Sumiko in Berkeley,CA.
Best of luck,
