Thanks. I was coming back to update my post a bit more. The following link makes the calculation fool proof.

In my setup, my E-Flat arm comes stock with an effective mass of 12.5 grams. (it can be increased to 19.5 by changing the metal blank to the larger 4mm blank)

My Denon DL-304 weighs in at 7 grams and has a compliance of 14x10(negative 6) if you factor in approximately 1 gram of mounting hardware that ups the weight to 8 grams. It gives me a resonance freq. of 9hz which is really good.

The result is the DL-304 is a great match for the medium mass E-Flat tonearm.
