The Wand is designed around the Rega style mounting dimensions. Do check the height, some lids may hit.

Will The Wand work on my suspended turntable? The Wand weighs ~500g (~1lb) this is similar to SME 3009 and a little heavier than Rega arms (420g). So it should be within the adjustment range of most turntables. For some turntables see; Cool Turntables

Will The Wand work with my cartridge?

The Wand Tonearm has been used with some of the worlds best cartridges from Lyra, Transfiguration, Koetsu, Kiseiki and Dynavector. It has the ability to let your cartridge shine, whether high end or high value.

The Wand is "Medium Mass" at 12.5g effective mass (15g for the 12in), so will work with most cartridges. The Master Series arms are about 1g more.
Even a high compliance cartridge like a Shure V15Vx gives a measured resonance at 7Hz, so is ok. At the other extreme, conventional low compliance cartridges work well. Arm/Cartridge matching is frequently over-stated, unless you have a system with massive bandwidth or insist on playing badly warped records, it shouldn't be an issue.

As New Zealand Distributors for the rather wonderful Hana MC cartridges we encourage the combination with The Wand Tonearm. While we can't sell this cartridge to customers outside New Zealand we still encourage you to contact your local Hana Distributor. The ML is particularly lovely.

The most popular cartridge with our users are Denon DL103 or Ortofon 2M and variants of them both. (See the review pages)
Decca cartridges are challenging cartridges but a significant number of customers have found The Wand works really well . (Some images above and there are a lot more on a Pinterest Board, Wand Cartridge Collection )
