Dear @ferrari275: Sir, you said: """
Allaerts make superlative cartridges. """
I own ( between others. ) Allaerts cartridges and I agree with your statement but it has no sense to me that you recomend to @bonzo75 to try the worst tonearm design ever. Not only comes with a ringing mechanism for its balanced design but the worst part is that's a non-damped design and additional with very old internal wires that are not up to task with any cartridge. Of course that we can use that tonearm if we want destroy the cartridge quality on purpose. Up to each one of us.
The Allaerts deserves any thing but that FR tonearm, it does not matters what other gentlemans think about.
Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
