Question on FR 66s
That's interesting information Nikola.....about the FR-7 cartridges.Of course......if you one were to purchase Dietrich's new Axiom tonearm........one would be able....for the first time.....to adjust the Overhang for its correct geometry.Although... 
Question on FR 66s
For the FR-66s....Dertonarm is happy with the 295mm P2S distance.For the 231.5mm P2S distance on the FR-64s.....be sure to amend the Overhang to 14.5mm for it to follow Dertonarm's geometry?You cannot use any regular protractor for this....but the... 
Question on FR 66s
As Audiogon has deleted the infamous Thread about Tonearm Geometry where Raul's ignorance was finally revealed to all......here is another Thread where Dertonarm exposes the Mexican again and again.....AGONBLACK KNIGHT 
Question on FR 66s
Lew,Of course some people prefer Stevenson alignment for various reasons.....however the vast majority of audiophiles are using Lofgren A(Baerwald) because of the lower overall distortions.Stevenson - a variation on Löfgren geometry optimized for ... 
Question on FR 66s
Suteetat,Yes....the UNI-Protractor is made and sold by Dertonarm who also has made a range of adjustable headshells which are receiving positive reviews....and has also just launched a new tonearm which debuted in the HighEnd Show at Munich.Derton... 
Question on FR 66s
Dover,Please see the VE Calculator Chart in my Post above.Raul is not disputing the figure. His 0.3mm difference is due to his assumption of Stevensen geometry.You've got it arse about :-) 
Question on FR 66s
Dear Raul,There are dozens of posts from you extolling the advantages of Lofgren A (Baerwald) over Stevenson, and your understanding of the distortions of each geometry is obviously flawed.It just reinforces the fact that you can never be trusted ... 
Question on FR 66s
Suteetat,In re-setting the FR-64s at a P to S distance of 231.5mm.......I discovered one cartridge/headshell combination which locates the screws at the furthest point of the headshell.The Signet TK-7SU in the Yamamoto HS-1As wood shell is the onl... 
Question on FR 66s
Dear Raul,CALCULATORUsing the Vinyl Engine Calculator where you plug in the parameters (Eff Length, Off-set angle and Original Overhang) and then choose the new Overhang desired.........it calculates the NEW Pivot to Spindle distance and gives you... 
Question on FR 66s
Sorry guys,I had forgotten that the time Lew refers to when I did indeed seek to interchange headshells between my two FR-66s arms, the FR-64s arm and the Micro Seiki MA-505s which was nearly two years ago I think?.....The MA-505s was no problem b... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
I meant that the P77/SAS has greater bass extension than the 155Lc.It's confusing....the way I wrote it.... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
I was going to write something on the Garrott P77 Original vs Garrott P77/SAS.........but Don just covered it so well.Everything he says is spot on.The Garrott Bros certainly did modify the internals of the original A&R P77.Dover actually work... 
Ideal material for wall mounted TT shelf
Hi Sunnyboy,I cannot see the brass cantilevered supports on your System Page......however the wall hung shelf is definitely the right direction from your previous floor-mounted rack.The wall mount should not move unless the wall itself is a stud f... 
Question on FR 66s
Raul,Get off the Sangria and show me where I said anything like what you are talking about?Is this figment of your imagination the same as the one about you owning and selling an FR-66s and owning a Signet TK-7LCa and having a Victor TT-81 and TT-... 
Question on FR 66s
Dover,Enlighten me as to where you see me "suggesting" anything other than mounting the FR-64s at 230mm as recommended by Fidelity Research which should give the recommended overhang using the geometry selected by them.Your preferred mounting dist...
