Fidelity Research MC201 for an Ortofon AS-212?


Hello,

I recently purchased an AS-212 tonearm and I am considering the FR-MC201 to go with it.

I am not that familiar calculating compliance and need some help.

Best regards,

Horacio

Yes, but the way that I am familiar with is by working backward from the resonant frequency. First determine Fr. Then use the cartridge compliance to calculate effective mass. (The equation relating Fr, C, and M is readily available on line.) If you go on Vinyl Asylum and do a search, the method for practically determining Fr is described. Another idea is not to worry about it until you listen to the combo of cartridge and tonearm.
