Looking for tonearm inspiration

Dear @atmasphere : You can match top cartridges with a tonearm only if the tonearm is well damped as better damped as better the matching with the cartridge ( any ), period.

As in any good to excellent MUSIC Hall a room/system will performs the best as the bass frequency range be handled better.
I mean that as the better your room/system bass range as the better all the quality performance of the overall frequency range.

Thinks happens that as better damp in the tonearm as better the bass range quality response. No damping then the whole room/system performance will be poor for say the least. No matters the other links in the system. Bass range is dominant for high quality performance levels and silicon damping is welcomed in the V, MAX 282 or Triplanar.

Btw, @mijostyn you like to talk but you don't give yet an answer to the question. Why dead silence?

Sorry- I cannot make sense of this comment. Raul, you might find it a good idea to use Googe translate- place what you want to say in Spanish in the translater, highlight the result in English and then drop it in here.

I'm right here Raul trying to decipher what you just wrote.

Lets see if I get this right. According to you, if a system's (including the room) bass performance is not correct the entire system will sound bad and if a tonearm is not damped bass performance will be poor. So, by extension you are saying that any system that does not have a damping mechanism in it's tonearm is going to have poor overall performance.

The tonearm and cartridge when playing a record are a mass or effective mass sitting on a spring (the cantilever's suspension) which has a specific spring rate (compliance). This mass is going to want to bounce at a certain frequency depending on the size of the mass and the stiffness of the spring. The larger the mass the lower the frequency it will bounce at. The stiffer the spring the higher that frequency will become. This is the resonance frequency. If you adjust the size of the mass and the stiffness of the spring so that the resonance frequency sits in a range were there is no information the tonearm cartridge system will not be excited to vibrate. We know from measurement that there is very little energy between 8 and 12 Hz on a record. Below that you have rumble and warps. Above and you have record noise and then bass. So if you adjust the mass and spring rate so that the system's resonance frequency is between 8 and 12 Hz it will never be excited to vibrate and the resonance will be a non issue. Using damping in this situation will do absolutely nothing as there is nothing to damp. In a situation where the resonance frequency is too high or too low and may get excited damping will raise the Q of the system and limit the number of oscillations the system will make when it gets excited. This is quite useful in very heavy arms particularly tangential trackers with very high horizontal masses. In a properly matched pivoted tonearm set up damping is totally unnecessary and may even be harmful. 

OK Raul, I do not think I can explain it any better than that. If other members find that I am in error please speak up. I you agree please let Raul know because he has a tendency toward disbelief.   
 

@atmasphere  : I not only understand what mijo said in the post I was refer to and before he posted his " black thread " fenomenal discovery for the audio world analog lovers ! ! last post.

My last post is exactly as is or if you like: you need a very well damped tonearm to match a cartridge, not enough to stays in the ideal resonant frequency range. Easy.
