Cartridge/Tonearm Matching


I own a Connoisseur BD2a with a Grace tonearm (low mass). About a year ago I was going to replace my old Goldring cartridge with a new Goldring 1042. However, I read about the Dynavector 10X5. My local dealer highly recommended the Dynavector and installed it for me. Now I am reading and learning about compliance between the cartridge and tonearm. Based on my initial understanding the Dynavector and Grace do not match. Did my dealer steer me wrong ?

I am p- off that a my local reputable high end dealer would sell this bad match to me. I am thinking of replacing it. Are the Shelter 501 or 901 high compliance ?
Based on pictures on the web, I think you are right TWL. I think it may be a Connoisseur arm. I sent an email to Sugden. Would the Connoisseur arm have been low or medium mass ?
