All this talk about 100Hz cu and arm eff mass, got me thinking about the old days.

I used to set up tables in the '80s. Most and the Japan mfg said the S shaped arm was for structural rigidity. The bayoneted connector between the shell and arm is a weak point. It adds some mass to the arm, but I wonder how much a 1200 arm would lose if straight, a gram or two??

Some of us converted many AT MM 100Hz cu to 10Hz and found the conversion to be a sliding scale. Low cu carts, AT95 is 6.5cu (100) and is 15cu @10.

\AT-440/120 150MLX etc are 10cu = 18cu @10Hz. 1.6 to 1.8g VTF.

But the AT140 is 16cu @100Hz, but max VTF is 1.6 so cu should be similar.

Denon makes a nice inexpensive LOMC
I had a DL160 and I would guess it would be impossible to beat for what I paid; also has a 304 - nice cart and sounded amazing with a SS ruby line contact. Worth every penny.
