tone arm with 10gr mass with 15 gram weight cartridge?


i read about arm mass/compliance match  .
what about arm mass/cart weight?

128x128stone1

I've used carts with 12-16g mass (16+ grams for Benz LPS) on my 9.5g EM Clearaudio tracer arm.  I just had to use the additional counterweight.  It sounded great, tracked well, and the resonance frequency as measured by the HiFi News test record was a hair over 7hz.  A bit low but turned out fine.

With a well tempered you have variable damping to play with too, the raw resonance calculated for an undamped arm using the common formula won’t be the whole story.
