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

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.

both arms lifters not working.

7082: UPS broke the small curved arm that actually lifts the tonearm. The center post moves it a little bit only, but it is too far below the arm.

How do you adjust the height of the 7082's lifter's arm? (to get/start close to the tonearm).

GST-801 nothing lifts when lever is raised. I know how to loosen the set screw to raise/lower the lifter cylinder to get it close to the tonearm, but then there is no lift of the center shaft.

For Victor you can simply replace it with brand new Jelco armlift, they are compatible.

All Z-1 bodies are the same. There is a Z-1, Z-1S, Z-1E, Z-1EB, Z-4 which is also a Z-1 and a few others.

This is a wrong information: all the cartridges Z1 are different. I have Z1, Freq. Response 10Hz - 50kHz (close to X1); Z1 EB (Elliptical Beryllium), 10Hz - 35kHz; and Z1 S (with S) was the cheapest option even with spherical stylus.

You can find recordings of the Z1 sound (with Jico SAS) and X1 IIE in Ytube (Porco Stereo channel), just like an idea.

More to discover
