@chakster Thanks.
What is your experience with required gain?
Ahhh. I thought that it was purely a spring type of metric.
I sounds like the compliance is also using something like the mass of the cantilever/coils???
(But I would have thought that that was next to zero to capture the high frequencies in the groove?)

- That Audio Research PH2 is the SS model, and its manual says gain=48dB.
- That phono stage shows posts for resister loading, but a flashlight through the holey metal does not reveal them.
- It has balanced In/out and I have a handmade XLR to RCA, which sounds OK and read ~24k resistance, which sounds right for two 47k in parallel.
1) Compliance for Garrott measured at 10Hz
2) Compliance for Hana measured at 100Hz (like for all Japanese cartridges).
If you convert 10 at 100Hz to 10Hz it will be 17cu (almost the same as Garrott), this is definitely NOT a low compliance, it’s more like a mid/low end (or you can call it mid compliance which is good for nearly all tonearms, except for too heavy or too light arms).
For any measurements you need to know a compliance figure at 10Hz (not at 100Hz). For Japanese cartridges it’s a bit tricky, you always have to convert to 10Hz first using x 1.7 formula.
