Figuring Cartridge Compliance.. Help!

 I agree with Raul that you don’t have to go crazy with a perfect match for that cartridge. On the other hand I know a local guy who has one of the best sounding systems I have ever heard in my life who uses a homemade tonearm that from the looks of it must have 50 g effective mass with his turn on DL 103. So I guess it depends upon how crazy you want to get with the mathematics of the situation.

Denon not “turn on”. Using voice messaging here. Sorry.

raulirugas; thank you for the reference. I have printed it out and am in the process of digesting this article.

rauliruegas, that kind of stuff makes me dizzy. I am glad to be out of Physics 101. All he needs is the test record which will account for any wear and inaccuracies that the math won't account for.

exactly, i have no idea why people prefer to make questinable calculation on paper if they don’t even know where to start, because their cartridge compliance stated at 100Hz (not at 10Hz) which will make all the caltulation way off.

Insted they can buy a Test Record to play B2 and B2 tracks and actually watch the arm and cartridge shaking together at the certain range of resonance frequency. This is practical solution, not a theoretical math on paper.

But for the orthodox there is a theoretical aspect printed right on the record sleeve.
