| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear If you are on an audio forum debating the merit of a $400k turntable, I can promise, you are not their target audience. | |
| Recommended FR 66 service Correct, silver in the arm. The question is whether to go silver all the way to the RCAs vs the DIN socket. I seem to like mixing copper and silver. | |
| Recommended FR 66 service Howard, were you originally using a copper or silver phono cable prior to the re-wire? I am a bit hesitant to go full silver, since I have seemed to like copper interconnects and phonocable in my system. | |
| Sell Me Your Women, Your Children, Your Vintage Turntable... Once I had the VPI Avenger and an Artisan Fidelity Garrard 301 Classic. Now I only have the Garrard 301. | |

| A solid tube photo stage around 1500 Patience is a virtue. Wait for another H-1201. Hammertone looks to have one: https://www.hammertoneaudio.com/trade-insOr, ask them to let you know when a trade-in comes in. Bought my H-3000 used from Hammertone, A+ service. | |
| FR66s vs Ikeda IT-407 CR tonearms Just want to throw my opinion in on Tonearm cable. I have tried many high end (expensive) tonearm cables with my FR-64S Silver Wired/ Koetsu setup. I have not beat the Ikeda HBC-MS-5000DR. This was the stock cable that came with my Ikeda 407CR1... | |
| Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma I use 231.5 P2S with the 64S and Baerwald. I use the Arche Headshell that allows me to slide the headshell in and out giving me about an extra 10mm of adjustment. This essentially makes the headshell longer. At 231.5 and Baerwald the cartridge is... | |
| Phono's $2100 to $2600 Out of your choices, I would go Allnic. But, in your price range, I would investigate the Modwright PH9.0. There are too many good reviews and user feedback to not consider it. | |
| ModWright PH 9.0 vs Manley Chinook MkII ^Great comments on the built-in SUTs. I often wonder why people glaze over the quality and brand of the built-in SUTs. Many have the cheaper Lundahls or Jensens. Btw if you like "thicker sounding" SUTs my favorite are the EAR SUTs. I also have a M... | |
| Vintage Turntables compared to modern? I sold my VPI Avenger after getting an Artisan Fidelity 301 Classic. I have been working on it over the past couple years upgrading it piece by piece. The table is a couple pieces away from the Statement Level. After getting to the Statement leve... | |
| Technics: PLINTHS: Dobbins, Porter, or Thompson? From talking to others with various plinths the Artisan Fidelity plinths tend to absorb/ drain noise from the deck creating a quieter and more neutral presentation. Dobbins plinths typically work with resonances/ noise to create a more musical alb... | |
| Foil damping tape as a tonearm tube wrap? An alternative to using tape that I use is the Herbies Damping ring. I use it on my FR-64S with nice results. Lightweight and easily installs. I would say it takes the arm up a notch closer to the level of a FR-66S in terms of a more neutral an... | |
| FR 64s tone arm lift servicing I use the Audiosilente lifter too, great solid feel. |
