Decca London Super Gold Compatibility Question

Can someone tell me what happens when you use the Deccas with the wrong arm? Is it a tracking issue or will it just not sound good? I tried it with my SME M2-12R with a Yamamoto wood headshell and the results were not great. Hoping it's just compatibility and not something wrong with the Decca.

It should work pretty well with that arm.  Try the SME headshell.  Maybe add a little mass.

Try tracking at 1.65g.
Use a heavier headshell. 
What issue are you having?

Soundstage is wide and tall but it's dull and thin sounding.

I'll try the lighter tracking (I was at 1.8) and the sme headshell with some added mass and report back. Thanks.
