Hi Romy and others,

I'm trying to get my head around the tonearm/cartridge matching mechanics.

First of all, are ALL cartridges much happier with a heavier tonearm?  Even cartridges with a high compliance?

My understanding of a "correct" arm effective weight is one where the resonant frequency measures in between 8-11hz.  Won't adding 25g of mass to the headshell skew this relationship?

Also - are there any currently commercial arms with a heavy and appropriate mass? 

Thanks!
Todd
