Figuring Cartridge Compliance.. Help!

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. 

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. 

Dear @mijostyn : """  which will account for any wear and inaccuracies that the math won't account for. """

between those inaccuracies are the ones in the test record that is not a " perfect " recording.

With the " maths " ( vynil engine calculator. ) you don't have to spend money for more just inaccuracies and you can be sure that the calculator result will be around 95%+ of the real value that's more than enough for that resonance frequency value..

No one needs a test record for what the OP is looking for, the test record is inherent inaccurate. So, where is its big deal?. No sense at all but to each his own.

In the other side the OP ask for maths even that he already knew about the internet calculators.

Here is all the math:

But with the TEST LP you will have both (printed method on the sleeve to calculate manually and the "real" method to see the resonance by your own eyes by playin test record).
