Hi. I am a bit concerned with whether or not a cartridge that is being sent to me will match well with a tonearm another fellow sent to me as an upgrade for my Micro Seiki BL-51.The cartridge in question is a Shelter 201. According to the specs, it weighs 6.2-grams, and has a compliance of 15-10 @ 100hz. I figure that this means that it is around 26-10 @ 10hz.
The tonearm in question is a Micro Seiki MA-101 MKII, which is reputed to have an affective armtube mass of 7-grams. In addition, I found a wood headshell that weighs 7-grams as well. Should this not give me a total affective mass of around 12-grams?
Using the best compliance calculator that I can find online (korfaudio.com), it looks like a good match. The "old fashioned" calculator at Vinyl Engine say it isn't, but I have found it to be pretty inaccurate compared to my real-world findings so far.
How many of you have used this cartridge, and what tonearms and headshells have you successfully used with it?

After reading all of the available posts on the cartridge, I found that someone was using it successfully on a Rega tonearm that is roughly the same affective mass as the 101 + headshell.
I have revised my cartridge compliance findings to be around 21 @ 10-6, which brings me closer to an optimum match (8hz).
