Fidelity Research FR-64x Normally i prefer to use manufacturer recommendations first, then i need some time get used to the sound, then i can make changes (maybe). But i can't hear any single problem with Stevenson for FR-7f, at the moment FR64fx + RF-7f is a great combin... | |
Fidelity Research FR-64x @rauliruegas Well, 99.9999% of the audiophiles in the world always listen the normal LPs not 7"inch records. I don’t care about audiophiles with their reissues, CDs or files.There is a certain kind of record collectors who’re mainly into 45s (7in... | |
Fidelity Research FR-64x @invictus005 I have all kinds of tonearm (super light, mid, heavy mass) for my academic research. Actually FR-64fx is not heavy mass, it's even said "low mass dynamic balanced tonearm", unless you're using W-250 counterweight with FR-7f cartridge ... | |
Fidelity Research FR-64x Just noticed there was a silver color FR-64FX , never seen it before | |
Fidelity Research FR-64x @rauliruegas i like this italic font you're using You left go a way superior tonearm in favor of your " new kid " FR. Well, I know that you are a seller too. Good. A seller of what? My own cartridges and stuff in upgrading process? As much as yo... | |
Audio-Technica ART 7 @rauliruegas the OP said "I was in love with the AT OC9 III sound..." and the ART-2000 is next one what comes to mind, i believe the ART-7 could be better, but the ART-2000 was in fact an amazing all-rounder cartridge, but the MM was better, so yo... | |
Audio-Technica ART 7 Never tried the ART-7, but my old ART-2000 was amazing cartridge. | |
Fidelity Research FR-64x @nandric ... the first recommendation was to change Stevenson in Baerwald geometry. I have no idea why the most Japanese tonearms followed Stevenson. To get Baerwald the spindle-pivot distance need to be increased to 231.5 mm which result in eff.... | |
Best phono cartridge under $350 With your tonearm Denon DL103r must be avoided! People always posting "classic" recommendation without even checking effective mass of the arm. Also it is not a $350 cartridge as you need very expensive SUT to make it even work! And it has conical... | |
Fidelity Research FR-64x @nandric The conclusion of them both was , in short, that FR-64 FX is a '' poor man FR-64 S ''. poor me :)) appart from this review we know nothing about comparison between two models, beside the fact that FX is more flexible in term of effecti... | |
Fidelity Research FR-64x @lewm Nelson Pass is one of the greats in modern audio design; I have long had curiosity about his First Watt products, but none of those amplifiers were powerful enough to run my Sound Lab speakers. My situation is totally different, his F2J cu... | |
Analog playback on computer. No cracks, no pops, no phisical media, no sleeve, nothing ... and easy to copy. I can understand if you're talking about new music recorded digitally, but if you're talking about great heritage of the 50s, 60s, 70s which was recorded 100% analog o... | |
Fidelity Research FR-64x I’m playin with my Fidelity-Research FR-64FX for a few days. I like this tonearm, it’s my first Fidelity-Research tonearm and with W-250 counterweight it works just fine with my FR-7f cartridge. The arm is easy to set up, the VTA is not "on the fl... | |

Seeking arm suggestions for a Grace F9R @rodman99999 No, the majority of the Grace F-9 series are very high compliance cartridges, please look at the manuals first. The F-9F,F-9E, F-9U ... compliance is 25@100Hz and this is typical figure for Grace MM cartridges. Keep in mind that you h... |
