Might need shims if fitted to a Rega arm.
Otherwise not a bad cartridge

Cant you adjust loading & capacitance on your phono stage to avoid HF problems
or try a MI ( moving iron ) cartridge immune to capacitance Grado & Soundsmith


AT VM745xML has a microline/microridge stylus very , very , very sensitive on set-up Azimuth & VTA need to be dialled in
Wallyshims & Wallyfulcrum
my Rega Naid took most of a day to dial in the cartridge
