fjn04,
This exchange and the other comments above should be enough to tell you all you need to know about this site. There's guys here who truly cannot comprehend even the clearest most concise and simple sentence. I clearly stated "Origin Live founder Mark Baker" and yet lewm has no idea who he is. Because lewm has no idea at all of anything he reads - or writes, for that matter.
Then you have two other guys all beating the same drum, all patting each other on the back. All ignoring the facts.
If you read the Mark Baker article I linked to it will be clear why this theory everyone is so in love with is so irrelevant. For one thing because as he mentions there is more than one cartridge compliance. Compliance in one direction like left to right is often times different than compliance up and down. On stereo recordings in case you don't know the groove wall modulation is both L/R as well as up/down.
Will the Koetsu work well on your arm? If it is a well-designed arm then yes, it will. Unfortunately we have a situation where all the same guys who can't understand why compliance doesn't matter are in love with the idea all arms are great. Instead of facing facts and accepting that the arm that is bad with one cartridge is simply due to the fact it is a bad arm they insist the arm must be good and use this irrelevant theory in support of their obviously false claim.
In other words, if the Koetsu sings on your arm then yes (probably) it is a good arm. If it flounders, well we know Koetsu makes a fine cartridge so that can't be it and so in that case sorry, must be the arm.
These guys hate that answer because look, they all bought arms that had these problems. Otherwise, if they bought arms like me they wouldn't care, just like I don't care. I don't waste one minute looking at this stuff. Only when somebody wants help, then I suit up and take the shots so at least you have a chance.
Said it before, say it again: this stuff just isn't that hard, except for all the people making it hard!
I highly recommend you click the hell off this site and spend some time on Origin Live (where they know arms because they make them) or Soundsmith (where they know cartridges because they make them) or anywhere other than here, where more often than not it is all make believe.
Another thing I know for sure, this business of compliance and mass is pure theory. On that score I am in perfect agreement with Origin Live founder Mark Baker: "theory bears little or no relation to reality."

I have no idea who Mark Baker is
