Mmmm? I have a MC cart (Audio Technica OC9) on a 3009ii and it all
works perfectly, both listening and in measurement.

Does the OC9 have a rather higher compliance (and perhaps more sensible
damping) than many MC designs? The root of the problem was that many MC
designs had/have booger-all compliance and no damping. So can be
problematic in an arm like the 3009 which has low mass.

The lateral bearing on the 3009 could be damped which helped matters with
a low compliance cart. Think it was originally intended for the Decca FFSS
head shell mounting versions.
