How to interpret Japanese cartridge compliance measurements.


Just looking for some feedback and knowledge on Japanese cartridge compliance measurements and what they mean in total compliance. The cartridge I’m looking at is 12 x 10-6cm/dyne. What is that telling me and what is the compliance?

If not otherwise stated, Japanese measurements are a bit different, they give dynamic compliance at 100hz, to convert this to 10hz which is the European and USA standard multiply with 1,5-2, a bit complicated as this would be a rough estimate. European are the standard at 10hz and USA divide static compliance by 2. Your cartridge is around 20cu making it a medium compliance one.
