Is there a way to figure out the resonant frequency, when you don't know the mass of your tonearm?
I've been enjoying my bedroom system for a few weeks now, after adding plasticine to a plasticky old, lightweight JVC L-A21 turntable.
It's got a Grado Green1 with 8MZ stylus on it, and I would like to figure out the resonant frequency. Just because.
Compliance of a Grado green is 20 whatever-they-are-called units. But the vinylengine owner's manual does not give the weight of the tonearm.
Is there any sort of trick to figure out the resonant frequency mathematically, if this weight is unknown?
