Tonearm / Cartridge Compatibility


I have purchased an Audio Technica AT-1100 tonearm and want to know if an Ortofon Quintet Blue cartridge is compatible. I see comments about tonearms and cartridges being high, medium, and low compliance. If I install the Quintet Blue on the AT-1100 tonearm, how will I know if it is compatible? Will I be able to hear/ recognize the compatibility or incompatibility?

The removable head shell jobs also give a way to change mass.
I have an Ortofon and a Korf head shell to go from lighter towards heavier.

Some cartridges come with aluminium, steel and brass screws to also fine tune the mass.
