FR64S tonearm overhaul
I just bought a nice Fidelity Research FR64S tonearm off Ebay to have a second vintage arm for my SPUs and maybe a few FR cartridges in the future. The arm is in great condition but still has the original copper wiring.
I am looking to refurbish the arm myself and was thinking about rewiring it with Ikeda silver and a new Cardas DIN plug. Does anyone have experience with the sonics of silver vs. copper wiring in the FR arms? What other things should be replaced and where can I source the parts?

Dear @luisma31 : Always is healthy to have the lower capacitance in that kind of operationsl cable and in the other side silver is better signal conductor than cooper and you want that the cartridge signal goes out of your speakers with the higher quality you can achieve through your room/system..Thank you Raul, noted sir, @rauliruegas |
Luis, I'd like to recommend you to replace arm lift on FR-64s, got mine from Italy, made especially for FR-64s, Thank you Chak, I already did based on your recommendation from before, wonderful piece... |
