Sorry to be slow in thanking everyone for their suggestions. My computer network was down. I got way behind on everything.
I did contact Mike at VPI, John and Ken. That was a good suggestion. Doug, your memory of the effective mass of a JMW 10 at around 11 was very close. Mike says it is 10.3 grams. And, Carl, I ordered and then set up my arm with the lightweight dropped counterweight and the headshell weight. Although when I weighed mine it came in at just shy of 5 grams instead of 3 grams.
In any case, the JMW 10 with the ZYX R100FS (silver Fuji) sounds fabulous. It is so very quiet and clean. I am very, very pleased.
