Tonearm effective mass / Cartridge's compliance

-- Tue, 02/17/2009 - 12:33

To RH
Reading your recent article on tonearm mass & cartridge compliance.
I have several questions—how do I know my tonearm's efective mass, it is not indicated in the literature accompanying the turntable.
Cartridge compliance—is it dynamic compliance or static compliance?
Thanks

The tonearm manufacturer should be able to supply the effective mass spec. The chart published in the article is for dynamic compliance.
