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.
I know it has been mentioned before but honestly where in tarnation do you manage to find all these exotic carts and stylus at relatively bargain bin prices?

I am serious, not jerking your chain as I would love to try some but unless I take a chance on some ex Japan stock I see nothing usually.
Thank you.

Chak, If you say you are not the person selling the Victor cartridge in the eBay ad posted here by someone else, I will believe you, but the use of the English language in that ad is very reminiscent of your phraseology, and you are located in St Petersburg, are you not?  (Maybe you're not.) Do you know the seller?

As for the wonders of beryllium.... beryllium, shmeryllium.  As you know, I have Acutex 320 LPM and M cartridges that use titanium cantilevers.  They are as good sounding as any other cartridges I own, MM, MI, or MC types.  When I brought the Acutex cartridges up in the past, you were dismissive. As you also know, I don't judge cartridges solely by the materials of which they are constructed.

I never said original stylus.. I would not pay that much even if I found one as rare as that.

My question remains. Is x_1IIe Body internals SAME as x-1II body???

Dear @lewm  ;: And the pictures he posted here are similar to the ebay ad. No, it's not a coincidence. 

I really don't care about but is healthy that a seller disclose is a seller and not really an Agoner audiophile. He promotes only what he has on hand for sale and according him is the best out there and like in that ebay ad gives a wide explanation with information of what other people said.

He is waiting for Agoner posts asking for cartridges or tonearms and at once he post along pictures of the cartridges that many times no one ask for. Weird behavior for say the least. Fine with me.

whatever the compliance's are, two new to me tonearms working with my MM cartridges. 

Acos Lustre GST-801 9" Arm using Shure V15VxMR body with new Jico SAS/Boron shaft, with Jico Brush. (btw, Jico told me their brush is just a brush, not dynamic dampening nor static removal like Shure's brush is).

JVC Victor UA-7082 11-1/8" long arm with new Grado ME+ Mono Cartridge, Elliptical stylus.

Haven't played test records, but they both sound great.
