Cartridge, Compliance, try what in my JVC UA-7082 Arm?

From your collection: Audio Technica AT440ML.

It seems to me impossible that more modern cartridges cannot be used with the 7082

Dear @elliotbnewcombjr :  I don't know why the other posts talking of things you did not ask. Well I know from one of those gentlemans that's a seller and nothing more.

I don't have the effective mass of the 7082 ( I own the 7045. ). In these links you can calculate it:

Btw, you are rigth in your other thread that the tonearm is not straigth.


Btw, The Shure V15V  MR helps a lñot in the resonance frequenxcy between cartridge/tonearm due to its Dynamic Stabilizer this and the AT 440 cartridges are good ones and I think you can have any resonance frequency issues due that you have differents headshells where in any case you can use the headshell different weigths to match the cartridge about.

I prefer 9"-10.5" efective length tonearms. If it's true that can have a little higher tracking angle error has other advantages vs the 12"+ ones whwere a lomg tonearm develops more resonances/distortions than a short one, react too more " slowly " to the movements of the cartridge stylus tip and the cartridge/tonearm alignment must be extremely more accurated that with a short one ( not that accuracy is not importantin ashort one because it's. ).

A shorter tonearm ( everything the same. ) sounds different than a 12" one due to those higher resonances in the long ones. I think that the shorter arms quality performance is a little better not only different but better than in long tonearms.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
R.

Who said it’s impossible? But think why people using FR cartridges on FR tonearms, or Ikeda cartridges on Ikeda tonearm, or Technics carts on Technics tonearm etc... ?

You don’t have to calculate anything, just plug and play to match in heaven.

Also the OP has bought the entire Victor system and the only component missing is top of the line Victor cartridge. Probably the best way to judge about Victor engineering.

Well not quite correct now as he cancelled that purchase.
But he is still considering another near identical item that actually included an x-1 Cart.
