Let say the compliance is 1.5x - your resonant frequency will then be 8 Hz so still just fine.
I ran my 17D3 on my Nottingham 12” ace space arm whose effective mass is way higher than your arm. I think it is 16 grams but need to check. That would drive the resonant frequency well below 8 Hz where record warps become a problem. It worked great which is why I take the 1.5 to 2 x rule of thumb with a big grain of salt. Which is why I say you’ll be fine.
If I still had it mounted I’d measure the resonant frequency and then know the 10 Hz compliance, but it is not mounted currently.
It’s a difficult cartridge to set up properly due to the incredibly short cantilever. But man it really shines when properly set up.
Highly recommended.
