Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma

Who is Chris then ? @nandric

Dear chakster, Shakespeare was the first who asked the question:
''what is a name?'' He thought about the rose as example because
whatever the name the ''object itself'' will be recognized by its sent.
Later logicians declared that names miss ''predicative function'' and
only refer . Aka they don't have a meaning .
However we ofthen hear that someone has an ''nice name''. Anyway
we all are suposed to have an ''user name'' otherwise we can't
participate in this forum. Well I personaly think that ''chris'' is an
''nice name'' but chris himself prefer , say, chemical or medical
kinds of names so he has chosen :" ct 0517''. Nobody can remember
such ''name'' and you are proving this whitout knowing that you do.
I have seen many threads in which you both participated. So you
kind of know who chris is without knowing his real name. For me
it is more easy to address him as chris than to check every time 
his ,say, ''chemical name''.

The factory headshell does present a dilemma - if you do not have one.
From the FR64/66 owners manual.

The distance from the front of the head shell to the stylus tip should be adjusted so that it is 7mm.

Now a "dilemma" for me, when I owned this tonearm, was that the designer goes on to say.

A difference of 1mm more or less in this distance will not present any practical problems.

So why are you guys going to what appears to be great effort in detail for measurements, when it appears the designer himself, based on the design of this tonearm, did not think that a couple of millimetres either way, was that important ?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nikola - No chemical implications re: username. I joined this forum on May 17, some years ago.

Dear chris, Back then it was not usual to mention the number of
contriburions after one's name. I can add 2007 to my user name
but the number of my contribuions is much higher . So I will not
follow your example (grin). 

As a stupid man follows talking it's obvious that the posibilities to tals more stupid " things " goes higher and higher:


"""  who cares about that Baerwald ? Who would buy those tonearms if they are not good ?

Remember Swedish SAT tonearm ?  ""

It cares the people that understand the overall alignment subject that provided Löfgren A/Baerwald solution and Löfgren B solution. As a fact the extremely expensive SAT tonearm designer choosed Löfgren A/Baerwald.

Btw, almost all tonearm buyers buy their tonearm taking in count many characteristics on its design, many but the kind of alignment choosed by the designer because almost any of them know they can use what ever they want it.
