I just looked in the vinyl engine database and the Rega arms with specs have an effective mass of between 10 and 12 grams. The RB 300 that I have has an effective mass of 11.5 grams.

Using that number, you can use the vinyl engine resonance evaluator tool to figure out cartridges that are a good match.

For example a 10g cartridge will need a compliance of between 10 and 20 x 10-6 dyne/cm to be in the resonance sweet spot.

Pretty easy arm to work with, lots of options.
