| Fidelity Research FR-64x @invictus005 Why are you guys guys interested in these super high mass tonearms? For low compliance cartridges mainly, in my case it's FR-7f and SPU Royal G MKII. But the 64FX is not so heavy as the 64s, but still on the heavy side. Technics E... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64x @nandric what is the benefits of stainless steel ? I use inexpensive stainless steel PANs when i'm cooking on gas and i love it, but why it's better for tonearms? Just more weight?My Lustre GST-801 also made of stainless steel, i believe. It was e... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64x @offnon57 Fidelity Research FR-64x.....(with silver wire ) Do you mean FR-64s ? But the "s" is not necessary silver wire, it can be copper wire. When the wire is silver there is a sticker on the art "silver wire inside" or something like that.... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @best-groove I was lucky because my second TT-101 which i bought as a donor was better than first one! Actually it is working, but to start the platter i have to touch it by my hand, and then everything works just fine. Funny, i bought this turnta... | |
| RCA vs Phono cable @schubert Zu Audio Mission Phono - this is what i use, bought them in rca to rca configuration with ground wire, but replaced connectors to DIN on one side. Great tonearm (phono) cable for MM/MC cartridges. I also use Mission Phono mk2 with WBT R... | |
| RCA vs Phono cable The PHONO CABLE must be a very well shielded cable for very low signal, particulary with LOMC cartridge. It is not just about the collectors (DIN to RCA, or RCA to RCA for some tonearms). It’s all about the quality and shielding for 0.2mV (or even... | |
| A Love and Hate relationship - Ortofon @bur70n There is one great manufacturer of the modern MM cartridges with a long history. Nobody mention this, but i will tell you: Garrott Brothers in Australia, look for P77i model, the price on their site is in AUD, so will be much cheaper in US... | |
| A Love and Hate relationship - Ortofon Do not expect spectacular sound if your cartridge is Ortofon OM, also each records sounds different (pressing, mastering etc). | |
| A Love and Hate relationship - Ortofon Your d’n’b records are compressed, it’s electronic music made for the clubs, records are pressed loud. This is what you call better compared to the 70’s stuff (live music) ??Live music is more complicated, you need a decent cartridge to enjoy live... | |
| Audio Craft AC-4400 and related AC tonearms @sampsa55 I decided to try FR 64fx, it will be my first FR tonearm, it it works with SPU then it should work well with FR-7f, but for the rest of my cartridges i will have to find lightweight counterweight (i have the original headshell and heavy ... | |
| Brand new to vinyl: Help! First you can replace that awful cartridge to something much better. Even if you will upgrade with turntable and tonearm later you will need a cartridge. Everything starts with a cartridge when you play vinyl. I have upgraded the same turntable fo... | |
| Audio Craft AC-4400 and related AC tonearms @sampsa55 I think both the fx- & s-would be great with FR-7, though there seems to be a general preference for the s-models. I have both the FR64fx & FR64s, but don’t have FR-7 cartridges. I have used both with SPUs and some other cartri... | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 @islandmandan Dan, i have no idea why people buyin’ cartridge with spherical tip to invest 800 Euro more in upgrade for a better cantilever and better stylus etc, when decent cartridges available for the same amount of money (like the new ART-9 fo... | |
| Cartridge alignment question/problem @folkfreak What you are hearing is known as "print through" or "pre-echo" and is endemic to analog recording. Some of it is in the original tape (hence the name print through) often heard as a full echo of all frequencies, and other sources can ... | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 May i ask why should anyone rebuild cheap Denon 103 Cartridge for as much as 800 Euro if many better cartridges available for the same price? Where is the common sense here? Just curious. The price for rebuild + the cost of the Denon itself is the... |
