Cartridge/ Tonearm compatibility
Is my Dynavector XX2 MkII cartridge a good match for the current VPI 10 unipivot Fatboy tonearm. I currently have it mounted to an original VPI JMW 10 and it is a great match. I see that the effective mass for the Fatboy is 10.7 grams vs 11 grams for my JMW 10. Will that be of any concern?
It will be just fine with it. I like to use this tool to check: https://www.vinylengine.com/cartridge_resonance_evaluator.php?eff_mass=10.7&submit=Submit Doing so, you'll see that with a 10.7 gram effective mass and between an 8 and 9 grams of weight, a compliance of 10 (which is what the DV-XX2 MK2 is) is in the green. |
