In Reply to: Broken Cantilever, what would you do? posted by davidbeinct on July 24, 2014 at 06:22:17:
If you do decide to go with a low mass tonearm, that decision will affect your choice of cartridge, in that you will be best off with a high compliance cartridge. The combination of tonearm effective mass and cartridge compliance determine the low frequency resonance of the combination. There are formulae for guesstimating the optimal values; you might want to do some reading on that. But the rule of thumb is low mass tonearm/high compliance cartridge, and vice-versa. So, I advise checking on the compliance of the low output Grado you prefer before buying a new tonearm, to be sure the match is copacetic. A typical LOMC would probably not be a good match with an ultra-low mass tonearm, because LOMC's tend to have low compliance. (There are rare exceptions.) "Synergy" refers to the condition where 1 + 1 = more than 2. That's actually a rare event in audio, IMO.
