So i have a kenwood kd-600 with a grace 860f (according to my identification thread), and I just wanted to make sure that an f-9e cartridge will match up and work well with that arm. I didn't see much info on the 860 on vinyl engine or anywhere else so I figured you guys would know. Sorry in advance if this should be obvious just because they're the same brand.

Thanks.

Hi Corey,

I don't have experience with the arm, I do have a Grace F9L and just got a Grace 707 to pair with it.

From what I've read your 860f should be a good match. Grace arms work well with Grace carts as a bit of a ground rule, the 860f doesn't have very much info out there at all, the manual doesn't even give you it's effective mass. The 840f is the same arm but shorter. Theres a lot more info for it if you do a quick search. The manual outlines its effective mass, and a search for using it with an F9 has a few reviews which are all favourable.
 
Grace mfg a number of tonearms of varying mass, I'm tending to think that the G-860F is on the lighter side of medium mass and will probably work well with the F9E.
