Probably, you can live with it!

The DL-301mkII is a very high compliance cartridge, but it is also well damped, so even a low resonance frequency is unlikely to provoke the kind of oscillation which is associated with some of the livelier cartridges available today – the Grado prestige series for example.

In fact, despite the figures, in my opinion the DL-103 is more prone to oscillating at the resonance frequency than the DL-301mkII, and you’ll probably find that the resonance frequency for the DL-103 is only about 2 Hz higher than what it is for the DL-301mkII.

If your cartridge is not bottoming on warped records, I think that you don't have anything to worry about.

Best regards,

BK
