Bydlo, picka ti materina! There is one FR-7fz on ebay.uk
for 1090 GBP. Looks like the underwear of Michelle Pfeifer.
Item nr.150862965820. If you are not satisfied you can object
by ebay with the argument: 'not as described' (by some Serbian). |
Pani, click on 'search' and write FR-7 or search for the
'Fidelity Research cartiridge' thread. |
You may also consider the FR 7 series (7,7f,7fz). Some
respected members are very impressed (Dertonarm,Halcro,etc)
while they are a kind of bargain. Besides can be retipped
by Axel with even better styli. |
Bydlo, 'used underwear' may appeal to some persons but I
don't believe that any person who buy second hand carts
has this assotiation. The FR-7 series are made to last.
But of course the stylus need to be substituted from time
to time. You may be interested inwhat Halcro has to say about his which is just retipped by Axel in Germany (MM thread, Halcro 04-27-12) |
Bydlo, The right persons for this peculiar question are:
Dertonarm, Thuchan and Syntax. Probable Raul also but I am not sure if he owns /owned the FR-7fz. Our brilliant Aussie owns the 'lesser' FR-7f. I think that FR-7fz has also a higher output: 0,24 mV. However 'our Aussie' consider his FR-7f as one of the best in his 'exclusive' ranking of 5 in his (huge) collection . |
Bydlo, The person who asked you not to ask any Q's should
induce you to think about yourself. You are difficult to
satisfy , obviously. Like a public servant who invents
contra questions for any question asked. You should buy whatever cart on ebay and pay via paypal. You will get ebay protection this way. Not sure about the USA but in
Europe this work this way. The payment is blocked for 21
days to give the buyer the time for complaint. This of course means that the 'protection' is at the cost of the seller but is good ad for ebay. |
Bydlo, You get advice for free but you think that you can
demand the answers according to your own preference. Like
the public 'servant' I already mentioned. You can ,you know what... |
Byldo, by 'deviating from the subject' you of course mean as deviating from the subject as teterminated by you which means for me: I rest my case. |
Dear Halcro, the Dutch have this proverb:'protect me my
Lord from my friends I will protect myself from my enemy'. |
Dear Dover, Have you ever seen an altar made from acoustic
materials? There is an obvious preference for exotic marble
kinds or granite. And, you know, those are also designed by
architects...Why should our own be less? |
Hi Bydlo, your Serbo-Croation is much better then your carts understanding. BTW never thought about to test or check any cart by listening to it? Ostensive investigation
make only sense regarding the (broken) cantilevers and (wear out) styli. You may need a magnifting glass btw.
You, I assume, know that all FR-7 kinds are second hand?
Aka: 'used underwear'. Look in your Serbo-Croatian dictionary under 'fetish'.

Dear Lew, 'somebody' made a category error. You, as singer,
may be called 'Prima donna' while your dancing capability
is totally unknown. |
Dear Lew, your capabilities are incredible. Like Diogenes
to Alexander I can only say: 'move a little bit out of the son'.
BTW I am sorry for you and Halcro but some LOMC's are better than whatever MM cart there are. Among those I rank Takedas's Miyabi Standard as the best I know. Deed you btw know that the Serbians are not only the 'born warriors' but
also the 'born dancers'? In this sense the qualification 'primabalerina' can be used by Bydldo. |
Dear Bydlo, Your are obviously a Kantian with your a priori
knowledge about dances and carts. No need btw to
insult Serbian farmers because of me. Besides it is some kind of
a permanent illusion that to pay more for whatever item
iply 'better', 'security'... or a smart decision. |
While there are different 'series' of the SME 3012 version one can always find extra weights on ebay.uk. So whatever of Ortofon SPU carts or the FR-7 kinds , the cart weight should cause no problem.
My advice would be: buy the cheapest FR-7 you can find and post this cart to Axel and ask for the line contact stylus pressure fitted in the (new) aluminum cantilever. To 'retip' an old FR-7 means to glue whatever stylus in the existing cantilever. Whatever glue between the stylus and the cantilever is a suboptimal solution. |
In defence of Dover I must confess to like his kind of humor. He should however, as is advisable reg. the Germans among us, say in advance that he is joking. If he wants to
stay out of trouble that is. |
Dear Lew, My 'blanket statement' was made in the context of
my own experience so no 'universal statement' was made in
the logical sense . My was made by induction from a limited number of carts that I own while any 'universal statement' should be made without such a restriction. In this unrestricted sense only can an universal statement be treated as a premisse for deductions. Syntax and Thuchan were my 'sources' for the Miyabi . The 'Standard' version is so called, I assume, to discriminate from 47 (plastic)
version. I hope Syntax will help his Balkan friend out from this precarious situation? Where Thuchan is I have no idea at present. But if he still pretend to have good ears
he may accompany Syntax by a possible explanation.

According to Lew I made a 'blanket statement' about 'some' MC cart while according to Dover Timeltelt deed the same the other way round. He made a 'blanket statement'
about the MM carts. Herr Professor can speak for him self, in prose or verse, but I like to explain my own. I am not sure what a 'blanket statement' exactly means but if the
generality is assumed then I need to onderline that there
are two kinds according to the logic of quantification.
The 'general without exception' and the so called 'general
existential'. The last mentioned assume existence: there is some x
such that Fx&Gx. Fx= MC kind and Gx (better than any MM kind). This kind
of statement is true if there is at least one MC of this kind. There are: Olympos, A90, Audio Note,Anna, Universe, FR-fz to name some of the possible candidates. So anyone
who likes MC's more than MM's can choose his own. If I could afford Netrepko I would choose Anna but alas. I can choose from what I own(ed) and know and my choice was the Krell KC 100 , alias Miyabi Standard. But in comparison to
'all MM carts' I own(ed). This to my mind is a particular statement, not a 'blanket one'.
Regards,
