effective mass ???


Hi, I purchased a Grace g940. I would like to know how to match a cartridge to the arm without knowing the effective mass? I read countless what will work with what questions and of course there are differences of opinion and that seems a waste of time. So I am looking for education, thanks

Jlin, thanks for a very informative post, I really appreciate it. I have been trying to understand this for some time now, and I guess it was an evolution of questions that brought me to an understanding. thanks again

Hi and thanks for the responses. Per the instruction sheet suitable cartridge weight should be 3-17 grams. Is that including the headshell. Where does the headshell weight come into play. When the headshell weight changes does the effective mass change and is that why effective mass is not listed for arms with removable headshells? Thanks
