In Reply to: RE: The 103D is a fairly high compliant cartridge, at least as Denon 103's go...... posted by Lew on July 28, 2015 at 08:50:59:
In short, yes you are wrong, a 103D has ~27cu at 10 Hz.Changing the tip and cantilever could only affect the effective tip mass or moving mass of the cart's motor, which is in any case quite a bit lower than any MM cart.
So it is unlikely to change the compliance much. I'm not certain, but what-if 103Cs come with a diamond mounted on a metal rod and then glued into the cantilever? And, most re-tippers use a 'nude diamond', then the ETM is going to be a bit lower, so the LF res. might actually rise a tiny bit.
The effective mass of arm and cart and the cart's suspension are the two main factors driving LF resonance.

- It is ~ 27Hz @ 10 Hz where most Cart mfrs usually quote their figure. - Timbo in Oz 20:20:56 07/30/15 (0)
