Dear @dodgealum: I imagine you are just curious because looking at your tonearm/cartridge combination you have not problems coming from a mismatch in between regarding compliance/tonearm effective mass.
When exist a true/real mismatch normally it can be reflected ( mainly ) at the low frequency range but because the generated harmonics in reality affect all the frequency range. Sometimes we can hear a mismatch when in a very well know LP tracks the bass is not tight and comes with bluring or to much overhang or in excess of fatty sounds there. This kind of sound can be generated even that you are not aware of a mistraking on high velocity recorded grooves.
Of course that as @stringreen posted many times you can " see " the mistraking but not always is evident at our eyes.
That kind of sound I’m pointing out here could comes from other kind of problems down there diferent to that mismatch you are asking even several times exist an evident mismatch at the cartridge/tonearm resonance frequency value and we like what we are listening and can’t detect it. This happens all the time and for we can detect it we need to be trained. I think there are no strict rules on this elusive audio subject.
Regards and enjoy the music,
