If I'm using the relatively heavy SME 3012 Series II 12 inch tonearm with the Transfiguration Spirit Mk II cart, could I reduce the tonearm mass a bit by using a light magnesium headshell? Is that recommendable? Thank you.

tonearm mass/cartridge mismatch
What would happen if the tonearm mass is too low or too high for a given cartridge? What is a less disastrous mismatch: a heavy tonearm with a light(less than 10 grams) high compliance cartridge or a light tonearm with a heavier and low compliance cartridge? Whould the combination of a heavy tonearm and a light cartridge lead to a lower resonance frequency?
