Effective mass is not what the arm weighs. It is the mass the cartridge has to accelerate at the stylus tip, and with the cartridge's compliance it sets where the pairing resonates — ideally between 8 and 12 Hz. Add 0.5 g for mounting hardware when you work it out.

Who makes these
Bool Audio is a father and son making hi-fi components in a small UK workshop. We build the Clear Wave unipivot tonearm and the Clear Wave 2.0 tonearm cable, both for the Linn LP12. These calculators began as our own bench arithmetic. They are free to use, there is nothing to install, and they take no view on which cartridge you should own.
