Suspended weights don't apply a constant force. The weight pulls with a constant force on the string (or whatever), but the bar on which...

Do what exactly?

I have a feeling that there's just not one conversion factor really suitable....if some carts fit within 1.7 (like for example an...

You can do your own measurements with records that have a 100Hz sine tone and a given velocity/displacement : Calculate compliance...

Ah that explains it. Swag wasn't in the dictionairy :D But that 1.7 multiplier just doesn't work. There is imho no relation between...

SWAG? What does that mean?

To predict/calculate it's behaviour in different arms. That's why the 10hz compliance is given as a spec in the first place. But you...

No the question how it's measured and then calculated. The 100Hz compliance figure I mean. Like I wrote in post #1750...

Yes I've read that thread, but I've never been able to find that spreadsheet. And then hope he didn't secure it with a password like...

But those are completely guessed values and lots of cartridges fall outside of those numbers, like the at-3600l for example. Also...

Indeed you must measure the resonance frequency (so either with a test record, or just record some music and do a frequency analysis...
