"I thought the reason why we try to figure out the right cart to tonearm matching is to avoid the rumble (low freq) that the system will pick up if there's a considerable mismatch? Am I wrong with this?"
We want the resonance frequency of the compliance/mass system to be above the warp tones (4-6) and below the music (20). So that neither will set it off. Most say between 8 and 12.
If we are at 10Hz we are one octave above the warp tones and one octave below the music.
If the compliance of the cartridge is really 9 then a tonearm + headshell + mounting hardware mass of 20 and a stock dl103r weight of 8.5 grams, a tonearm of 20 grams gets us there.
That's 20 grams for the tone arm, headshell and mounting hardware.
We would need a 40 gram tonearm + headshell + mounting hardware if the compliance was really 5 to get the same system resonance frequency.
In the end, it's whatever works for you.
