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?

I have a Frog and tried it with an OriginLive tonearm.  It was a disaster but will spare you the details.  I eventually moved up to a kuzma 4.9 and have been super happy with the results.  Matching the Frog to my SOTA was tricky as there weren’t many options.
