Dear Fld: Any of the one you have in " line up " can work fine. Due to a removable headshell design that tonearm is " cartridge friendly ".

Btw, Jaspert that compliance figure/spec you take it is the static compliance not the cartridge dynamic compliance that is the one you need to make those calculations.

In the other side, IMHO those frequency resonance calculations can't say it which quality performance level can/could have any cartridge/tonearm combination. So it is almost useless.

Here you can read facts on that subject:

and if you need other than me experience then here coming from an Audio magazine review on the Ortofon MC-2000 mated with the Technics EPA-A250:
