RE: Another parameter,...

Why do you think that LOMC cartridges cannot be high-compliance cartridges? I'm pretty sure they can be made any compliance you desire.

My AT-ART7 has compliance in the neighborhood of 26-cu to 30-cu at its resonance frequency. I wish it had medium-compliance because both my tonearms are medium-mass tonearms, but I bought two AT-ART7's and they are both high-compliance cartridges just like the new AT-ART9 and AT-OC9/III, which both have dynamic compliance specified as 18-cu @ 100-Hz. I suspect that Audio Technica mistakenly installed ART9 suspension into both the ART7 cartridges I bought or else they changed the compliance of the ART7 to match the ART9. Whatever the case, all of these cartridges would be right at home in an Infinity Black Widow tonearm or an SME III.

Some years back I owned a Denon DL-301II and its compliance at resonance was about 26-cu. The original Ortofon MC-2000 that I owned was specified to have compliance of 20-cu, but it actually was more like 24-cu at resonance in my SME III tonearm.

My DL-S1 cartridges are both medium-compliance cartridges with dynamic compliance at resonance of about 17-cu. See the link below:
