Cartridge Tonearm compatibility

Hi,
I need some help calculating cartridge/tonearm compatibility. I am considering building a DIY turntable. I have purchased a Maglev table and a Jasmin motor from China on ebay. I am currently building a custom plinch and arm-board.I have purchased a Jelco SA750E tonearm. I am considering a Dynavector XX2MKII cartridge. I have looked at resonant frequency calculators but quite frankly they are above my knowladge. Would the Dynavector XX2MKII be a good match for the Jelco SA750E. The tonearm mass is 13.26gr. The cartridge weight is 8.9 gr and the cartridge compliance is 10 mm/N.

Can you believe, I built this turntable and never once considered any of that technical mumbo jumbo? https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367

Not a Maglev as in the floating platter table?

Right. Clearly someone is not thinking practically.

No, It's not the levitating platter table but the spindle bearing is a Maglev design using magnets to suspend the linear bearing surfaces.

Hi, 
Thanks for all the comments. But can anyone do the calculations for me. I just don't get it.
