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

So, what to try in my new JVC UA-7082 Tonearm when it comes? (effective length 282mm) (11-1/8")

Guidelines? Advice? (I never bothered learning about compliance, I guess now's the time).

Anyone know the Mass of the UA-7082 Tonearm without a cartridge _______?
.....................................

Self Imposed Restrictions:

High Output, 4.0mV or more (to avoid tube preamp hum zone until it's repaired).

MM Only. (I am fundamentally opposed to MC pre-pre amp, as well as needing high output).


.......................................

Motley Crew On Hand:

4 headshells, none special

Shure MicroRidge Stylus and V15VxMR Cartridge

Shure V15VMR Cartridge (no stylus, I gave it a dirty look and it broke, horribly brittle shaft)

Shure 97xe Elliptical Stylus and Cartridge (despite it's low pedigree it's my current favorite).

Shure N78S Stylus (fits 97xe) (I did not inherit the 78's someone threatened me with).

Shure M44E Stylus and Cartridge

Audio Technica MicroLine AT440ML OOC Stylus and Cartridge

Audio Technica AT7000 body, no stylus

Audio Technica ATP-2

Audio Technica Series VIII P mount 

Audio Technica ___? Came with the AT120 TT (tracks 2.5g, I never used it) 

................................
It's a busy time, it doesn't get here till mid Jan, so theirs time to research.

Thanks in advance, Elliott

Chakster!
Yes it does make a difference when you deliberately misquote your own quote!

Let me try again.

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.
So yes seeing as you insist on being pedantic, you stated the OP has bought, all I did was correct that to a more correct "in limbo' status which is 100% fact but no you still wish to contest the statement and have the last word!
Have a good day, I am done smacking my head against a brick wall with you.

I bought this one,

It has original Headshell and Cartridge: Victor Z1s, not sure what Stylus is in it.

Victor cartridges say 2/4 channel, what's that about?

For options, I found and bought the optional extra counterweight, fits either 7082 or 7045

I have no idea what the F are you talking about each time when you say "last word" etc, instead of some useful contributions with facts, carts, links, data, pictures and everything i am doing here to help people, you’re talking about me "and my last words, brick wall etc". Please post something useful for everybody instead. The OP has bought another Victor system after he has canceled purchase of the previous system (because i have mentioned the problem with a counterweight which you can't even see just like Lew).

It has original Headshell and Cartridge: Victor Z1s, not sure what Stylus is in it.

More important is to know long it was in use before you will put it on the record, it can be worn out already. The Z1 is the lower model from Victor and its styli are not compatible with the higher models like X1, X-1II etc. There are various styli made for Z1 (conical, elliptical etc). If you have the original for 4 channel then it must be Shibata and it’s the best for this model, it’s probably this one.

You can always change the original to JICO SAS just like Halcro did.
