Jelco tonearm for Colibri Gold LW cartridge

Dear,
I am considering the Jelco SA-750D ARM

http://www.jelco-ichikawa.co.jp/e_tone_arm.htm

for Colibri Gold LW cartridge. The effective mass of this tonearm is 20 grams. Do you think this tonearm would work well considering the fact the cartridge is only 5 grams?

Thank you

Anatoliy

It is not the mass of the cartridge that is critical but the complience of the cartridge, which is a quite different thing.

I thought the OP was under the impression that if the mass of the arm was high then the mass of the cartridge must also be high; that was why I suggested that the compliance was the critical factor. If the compliance was around 10, the a 25 gram combined mass would be all right. As the complience is 35 according to posters then the cartridge would have to have negative mass to work ideally.
