    Hey guys,

    My hi-fi shop has a pretty good deal on an AT440MLB and I'm interested on getting it for my Debut III. I understand that I would have to get a heavier counterweight (75g) because the cartridge weights 6.5g and the current counterweight only supports cartridges weighing 3.5g to 5.5g.

    However, I've read conflicting threads on this site and elsewhere regarding its compatibility with the Debut III. I've read the cartridge is not compatible because the tonearm on the Debut doesn't have the ability to change the VTA. However, I have also read that some users have had success with this combination.

    Can anyone chime in and let me know if the 440 is compatible with the Debut?

    Thanks.

    I'm interested in this as well so I'll throw up a reply to see if anyone else can chime in.

    Don't know if it helps, but I had a 440mlb on a Debut Carbon. VTA wasn't an issue, although I did have a cork mat.
