grado service reply to me about their Mono Cartridge
"Yes, the ME+ is compatible" (I asked about UA-7045 tonearm)
they did not give any specific compliance info.
Cartridge, Compliance, try what in my JVC UA-7082 Arm?
So, what to try in my new JVC UA-7082 Tonearm when it comes? (effective length 282mm) (11-1/8")
Guidelines? Advice? (I never bothered learning about compliance, I guess now's the time).
Anyone know the Mass of the UA-7082 Tonearm without a cartridge _______?
.....................................
Self Imposed Restrictions:
High Output, 4.0mV or more (to avoid tube preamp hum zone until it's repaired).
MM Only. (I am fundamentally opposed to MC pre-pre amp, as well as needing high output).
.......................................
Motley Crew On Hand:
4 headshells, none special
Shure MicroRidge Stylus and V15VxMR Cartridge
Shure V15VMR Cartridge (no stylus, I gave it a dirty look and it broke, horribly brittle shaft)
Shure 97xe Elliptical Stylus and Cartridge (despite it's low pedigree it's my current favorite).
Shure N78S Stylus (fits 97xe) (I did not inherit the 78's someone threatened me with).
Shure M44E Stylus and Cartridge
Audio Technica MicroLine AT440ML OOC Stylus and Cartridge
Audio Technica AT7000 body, no stylus
Audio Technica ATP-2
Audio Technica Series VIII P mount
Audio Technica ___? Came with the AT120 TT (tracks 2.5g, I never used it)
................................
It's a busy time, it doesn't get here till mid Jan, so theirs time to research.
Thanks in advance, Elliott

Semi-Final Decisions, thanks so much for all the help so far, Dual Arm Deck Purchased: https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649553719-victor-jvc-tt-81-direct-drive-quartz-lock-turntable-with-long-victor-ua-7082-tonearm/?utm_campaign=response-received&utm_source=notification&utm_medium=email ................................ Main longer arm, it's 7082 11-1/8" effective length. Stereo Only. use it's Z1s cartridge, upgrade Stylus to SAS/Boron. https://www.jico-stylus.com/product/dt-z1s-sas-b/ (made by Victor Nivico) light 1.5g tracking, J1 cartridge is high 5 mV output ........................................ Rear, to be purchased +/- 9" arm (not get a UA-7045) Stereo and Mono use select an arm specifically for medium/high compliance STEREO cartridge and a medium/high compliance MONO cartridge. That way I can continue to use both my Shures: 97xe elliptical and V15VxMR microline. Both light tracking, high output, use or not use Dynamic Stabilizer Brush (brush also grabs dust, reduces static). Both light tracking/high output 97xe: get an SAS/Boron Stylus from Jico https://www.jico-stylus.com/product/n97xe-sas-b/ (made by Shure). V15VmxMR: get SAS/Boron from Jico https://www.jico-stylus.com/product/vn5xmr-hg-sas-b/ (made by Shure). ................................ Rear +/- 9" medium/high compliance arm (need to wait till I can measure the distance of the tt's existing rear hole). suggestions ________??? ................................................ |
Joe Grado says OK for his Mono Cartridge ME+ with both JVC UA-7045 arm and Acos Lustre GST-801. "it should work just fine the compliance of the ME+ is 20cu" http://www.resfreq.com/resonancecalculator.html ...................... how do you compute from 20cu to _____ mu/mN??? |
found this. Is it about right? " The only way to accurately measure system resonance is with a calibrated low frequency test record and a chart recorder, or other sophisticated test equipment. Since most of us do not possess this capability, it is wise to do some preliminary homework in assessing the compatibility of any potential arm/cartridge combination. There are a few general "rules of thumb" that we need to consider:" |
