Cool video. Really shows what is going on. Lots of schmutz on the record also.

Nice job on that brass weight!

Shoot for 9-12hz resonance, lower is better than higher but the ears must provide the final judgement. Wild oscillations at the resonant freq are not good.

Presumably splitting the difference to ~10hz would give moderate oscillations and hopefully more open sound. At least you will know that the arm/cart combo is happy.

With a heavier arm, that weight would probably be perfect but you have to adjust for the conditions at hand.

Thanks guys
It took way too long to make that brass weight. Screws for cartridge had to be counter sunk with a flat bottom. Screw hole for arm mount had to be threaded.at m3.50. This I all way smaller than I am use to and my shop is set up for wood working not this small stuff.
Need to listen more and tweak arm adjustments before I make a 2gr lighter mount, but I suspect that is where it will end up
