jan Allaerts cartridges mc1b


Can someone tell me what the manufacturer of the mc1b recommends for tonearm matching in regards to effective mass? What would the manufacturer recommend as an ideal mc1b/effective mass match to realize this cartridges optimum performance? medium or high?

 I will also be using a Miyajima zero for mono, and some alternate cart like EMT or Decca, and need a second arm, so will look for an fr64 for that.

You can also look for FR64FX (Black one). 

@rauliruegas i have no idea about Allaerts cartridges, they are out of my budget for sure, but if @bonzo75 considering superheavy FR64 then FR64FX is just the same but with a bit lighter mass. I bought this 64FX not so long ago for my FR7f cartridge.  
@nandric thanks, i should get my FR-64FX with heavy counterweight next week, i already sold my Lustre GTS-801 to a friend locally. I like FR-7f cartridge and i want to use it on FR tonearm, at least i need to hear this combo. I also like my Fidelity Research PMC-3 cartridge on Sony PUA-7 tonearm with ZYX Headamp. So i'm a believer in Ikeda-San's products. 

@rauliruegas i know your thoughts on FR tonearms, but i prefer to try things in my system to make my own conclusions, the FR-64FX is not exactly the FR-64s. What i'm not gonna try is those super expensive cartridges like Allaerts and others in the same price range, sorry.
