Hi Henry,
The AT33EV is a medium compliance cartridge with a resonance frequency above 8-Hz in my 12-gram Technics SL-1200 tonearm. If my AT-ART7 actually had compliance of 10 x 10-6 cm/dyne at 100-Hz, it would also be a medium compliance cartridge. However, Audio Technica either made a mistake on both of my AT-ART7 cartridges or else they've changed the suspension to match the AT-ART9 without changing their published specification.
One of the reasons I bought the ART7 instead of the ART9 is because I didn't want a high-compliance cartridge. It actually pisses me off and I'm not happy at all about it being high-compliance. The only good thing is that it seems to work well in my SME V, but I certainly did not want an arm/cartridge resonance frequency in the neighborhood of 6-Hz.
Did you finally buy an AT33EV? I think you'll like it.
Best regards,
John Elison
