i of course appreciate your advice , and will use it after i'll decide wich cart i prefer

but how do i convert cu to the values that manufactures give?
and what is the effect of the cart weight?

thanks petg60
 those things are a bit confusing, since difference producers use difference values .
the values of compliance i saw are for example : 28 micron/nM/
or in some other place

12 μm/mN

 

so how should i translate it to your suggestion? 
from what i read the recommendation for a 10gr arm is cartridge with high compliance.
 "Low mass arms mate well with both moderately high and very high compliance phono cartridges".
and what about the cartridge weight to match the arm mass?

 

so for the actual mass of my arm to do all those calculationsת i need to add to the official spec of the manufacturer the weight of the screws and the lifter.
the headshell in my case ( well tempered) is part of the arm so i assume i was already taken into account.
i admit that i'll need to read yours explanation several times to completely understand it 😃
right now i am thinking about 3 carts, neither is Japanese.
Van den Hul DDT-II Special Moving Coil 
 Benz Micro Wood SL
E.A.T. JO N°5 CARTRIDGE.
the last one weight 15 g, while the first two are lighter, VDH 8.2 g, and benz micro *9 g.
so that was my major reason for asking that question .
also the EAT has COMPLIANCE, DYNAMIC/LATERAL           12 μm/mN
wile the VDH states- 

static compliance 28 Micron/mN
and the benz micro sl 

 

Compliance  15 without specifying which kind of value is it
so i'm confused with all that different values.
