Cartridge Tonearm compatibility

Hi,
I need some help calculating cartridge/tonearm compatibility. I am considering building a DIY turntable. I have purchased a Maglev table and a Jasmin motor from China on ebay. I am currently building a custom plinch and arm-board.I have purchased a Jelco SA750E tonearm. I am considering a Dynavector XX2MKII cartridge. I have looked at resonant frequency calculators but quite frankly they are above my knowladge. Would the Dynavector XX2MKII be a good match for the Jelco SA750E. The tonearm mass is 13.26gr. The cartridge weight is 8.9 gr and the cartridge compliance is 10 mm/N.

This makes it easy if you have the arm effective mass and the cartridge compliance at 10Hz
https://www.vinylengine.com/cartridge_resonance_evaluator.phpIf you only have compliance at 100Hx multiplty that by 1.7 and you'll be close enough or halve static compliance if that's what you know.
