I use 231.5 P2S with the 64S and Baerwald. I use the Arche Headshell that allows me to slide the headshell in and out giving me about an extra 10mm of adjustment. This essentially makes the headshell longer. At 231.5 and Baerwald the cartridge is straight in the headshell, and the Arche gives enough adjustments where my Koetsu is still tucked under the headshell instead of awkwardly sticking way out in the front. I use the Smartractor and tried Stephenson and UNI-DIN and still think this setup sounds the best for me.
Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma
Dear FR64S users can you help me please. I have an FR64S that i bought without a headshell. I have only just got round to getting it mounted. I did pivot to spindle distance of 231.5 (the alternative distance' I also have an armboard for 230.
I tried a Sony headshell that i had - it was 2mm short of correct alignment. So I bought a new Jelco headshell it was also too short.
CAn you tell me what headshell does work to allow other cartridges to work. I'm just using a DL103 for alignment first as I fettle the rest of my front end.
thanks
