What defines a high compliance cartridge vs low

This question has two parts and derives from the recent tone arm thread.
What do you think is a highly complant cartridge specification? What would be a low or resistant compliance figure? Where does one draw the line in terms of the specs provided?
Knowing that tone arm mass and compliance are important considerations for optimal performance, then what formula, or ratio do you use for optimal tone arm mass for a given compliance? Or Vice Versa?

Dear Mechants: I don't have nothing to add on what other people posted other that could be nice and a " surprise " to you if you try/test that Goldring 1042 cartridge in the VPI set up.
That cartridge has a lot better quality performance that you think and that the today set up preclude to shows you.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
