Resonance Frequency, Am I pushing The Limit
I am about ready to pull the trigger on a LO MC cartridge. AT33EV or AT33Sa
My tonearm effective mass is 12g, matching a 6.9g cart with a compliance of 10
will give a resonance frequency of 11.56Hz
If I add a four gram weight the resonance frequency drops down to 10.50Hz. My dilemma is that I don't think there is enough room outward for the counterweight to balance the tonearm prior to setting the VTF. I'm afraid that if I add a heavier counterweight that it will throw the whole thing off. How is he counterweight factored into the tonearms effective mass?

Your thoughts please.
Cheers,
Michael
