Interesting. I have a VdH Crimson Strad XGW on a 12" Reed 3P cocobolo arm with effective mass of 18g and it tracks fine and sounds great. After 200 hours I sent it to VdH for inspection and re-adjustment if necessary thanks to John McGurk and there was no report of any suspension problem or advanced wear.
VdH cartridge on heavier tonearm
The Frog is very nice, but rather high conpliance cartridge.
Producer states static compliance at 35 micron/Nm that should transform to about 18 micron/Nm dynamic compliance at 10Hz.
Also producer states that Frog should wotk on tonearm up to 10g effective mass.
I have 12” tonearm with almost 21g effective mass.
Is there any chance that this will work together?
Anybody used Frog at heavier tonearm with succes?
