I own Allaerts MC2 finish gold but was not able to find any info

about the complience of any Allaerts. I use Sumiko 8oo and

Ikeda 345 as tonearms. Both combinations sound great but

Sumiko is faster. I got the Allaerts recently and also intend to

try with my (silver wired) FR-64 S,

Dear chakster, Dover explained the issue of ''damping'' in more

technical and convincing way than Raul. The spring in the FR-64

which function as VTF adjuster as well as dynamic balance is loaded

with grease providing this way also damping. Dertonarm who is

an expert for all FR products advised me to use ''spring adjustment''

for 1,25 g and (manual) counterweight adjustment for the rest.

He swear  by FR-66 and FR-7 MC kinds. I deed try them all

and ''swear'' by FR-7 fz. Unbelievable for such an ''old cart''.

''second to non in some sense''.
