ZYX Compilance

ZYX Cartridges:I was wondering if anybody could tell me if the stated compliance on the spec sheet is measured @10hz or 100hz? 
I have read that the compliance on the spec sheet is for static compliance not dynamic. 
What I would like to know is the dynamic compliance @10hz so I can determine resonance frequency. 
If nobody knows would it be possible for a Zyx owner to measure their own cartridge? 
Any help is appreciated.

Here's an article that might help you calculate RF:

ZYX compliance measured at 100Hz just like nearly all Japanese cartridges. 

You have to multiply on 1.7 to convert this figure to 10Hz

Using the above to calculate compliance to get a resonance frequency of 11 I need the total cart + arm mass to be 8.2g since the cartridge itself weighs 8.6g this is impossible.
Next question, what tonearms are being used with Zyx carts with the silver base?
