JMW 10.5 tonearm cartridge recommendation

I am buying a used VPI classic 1. It comes with a JMW 10.5 tonearm. If anyone here is using this arm, what cartridge do you recommend as a good match. I own a Soundsmith boheme cart that is on my current table. From the specs on the JMW arm, it looks like it may be a bit too light for the arm. Can anyone calculate tonearm resonant frequency for me. I couldn't find a formula to do it. Specs are below.

Tonearm: JMW 10.5i SE - Mass is 12.3g
Cart: Soundsmith Boheme Mass is 6.8g - Compliance 22um/mN

Thanks for your help

Contact Soundsmith directly regarding the compatibility of your cartridge and tonearm. They know both products very well.

As for a cartridge suggestion, the Dynavector 20x2 high output is an excellent choice.
