How to Choose the Perfect Phono Cartridge Compliance Profile for Your Turntable and the Tonearm

Описание: In this video I will be showing you folks how to calculate the correct compliance profile for turntable's tonearm. In this video I will be using values from a Technics SL 1200 mk2, The OEM headshell, The OEM SL 1200GR headshell from KABUSA, The ZuPreme headshells from LP Gear.

Also I will be calculating the best fit using the Ortofon 2M Black, Audio Technica PTG33 II, and Ortofon Super OM5e phono cartridges. Also highlighted are compliance specs from Soundsmith Cartridges.
