In Reply to: Re: AT95E is a better match for your arm... posted by blake on April 28, 2007 at 16:54:19:
How is an S-arm low mass? I have tested for resonance on s-arms and high compliance carts always end up in the 6-7Hz range, which is too low. The AT-95E has a compliance of 6, which makes sense having a tracking force of 2g, and will be a very good match for the tonearm.
Follow Ups:
The AT 95E has a stated compliance of 20 (the Ortofon is 25-both are high compliance cartridges):http://www.lpgear.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=LG&Product_Code=ATC95E
The S-shaped arm on the older Pioneers is definitely not a high mass design.

Yes, they measure the same as Denon, apparently. My Denon 103R has a quoted compliance of 5 by Denon and the AT95E is quoted as 20 by AT. While one might argue that the Denon is really a medium compliance cartridge, it is pretty difficult to argue that the AT 95E, being 4 times as compliant, is a lower compliance cartridge.
AT95E has a compliance of 6.5cu @ 100Hz. It will be approximately double that at 10Hz - still lowish.
