This was an article written by Pepe57, whom I visited in Milan over the weekend, detailing how to match the weight of the arm and cart so that it resonates between 9 to 11Hz. Not sure how many of you abide by the math and how many of you don't.

To summarize, if your arm weighs 35g (FR 66, Ikeda, Kuzma are all heavy arms, I think), and you have say, a total of 50g, then if the compliance of the Koetsu at 10Hz is 12, so 12*50 = 600, square root of which is 24.5, and using 24.5 to divide 159, and then deducting 10%, you get approx. 5 - 6Hz.
Which is too low, as it should be between 9 and 11. But by this logic, you need a lighter arm for the Koetsu, while the users here have reported being happy with heavier arms.
What are experiences in practice vs the actual math?
