I have some confusions with SME 3009 MKII Non-Improved and Improved versions' effective mass before. Some listed it 12.9g and some listed 9.5g for the Non-improved version and 6.5g for the 3009 MKII Improved.
Let's just, for experiment, say that 9.5gr for the Non improved. ZYX Yatra's mass is 5gr, plus the Zinc (?) head shell installed and mounting hardware, the approximate total mass of arm & cart would be around 15.5gr.
According to Resonance Frequency calculator, with ZYX Yatra 's 15cu and 12 cu horizontal and vertical compliance, the arm & cartridge's resonance frequency should be 10.6 and 11.8 Hz, still in the recommended range of 8-15hz.
So this combo is compatible. I am interested in real life result of how well this combo track.
