Cartridge Tonearm compatibility

Hi,
I need some help calculating cartridge/tonearm compatibility. I am considering building a DIY turntable. I have purchased a Maglev table and a Jasmin motor from China on ebay. I am currently building a custom plinch and arm-board.I have purchased a Jelco SA750E tonearm. I am considering a Dynavector XX2MKII cartridge. I have looked at resonant frequency calculators but quite frankly they are above my knowladge. Would the Dynavector XX2MKII be a good match for the Jelco SA750E. The tonearm mass is 13.26gr. The cartridge weight is 8.9 gr and the cartridge compliance is 10 mm/N.

If you put in the information, this calculation chart will show you what the resonance frequency will be for the arm and cartridge. Between 8 and 14 hz should be fine!
