Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma
Alright I must be a total luddite. I tend to use my guage where i place the tip of my stylus in the little circle and put my cartridge body parallel to the lines.Where i put the stylus i was led to believe is the overhang. At present it won't reac... 
Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma
@karl_desch  u have hot to the issue. Your answer coicided with a query i made to mintlp - the headshell needs to be longer to do Bearwald or my Clearaudio for that matter. I think i will stick with 230...btw how are jelco headshells - i bought a ... 
Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma
@chakster u have it right. I have one clearaudio guage - thats it.the denon is not my only cartridge - just for initial testing. I have a paratrace tipped shelter 501 and a transfiguration temper at my disposal.i’ve always aligned using my guage -... 
Question on FR 66s
@suteetat I read on this thread that you have a few protractors including a clearaudio and have an FR64 arm.I have both the FR64S and a Clearaudio protractor. Using the 231.5 Bearwald pivot to spindle length my cartridge fully forward in the ehads... 
Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma
@rauliruegas I think you have hit the nail on the head.If truth be told I have had the Clearaudio for quite some time, and have never thought to really question the various alignments, because with it, my cardas record sweep and HiFinews test reco... 
Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma
So i put it at 230 pivot to spindle and can get allignment. That said it is fully forward in the headshelll. 
Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma
Can i just ask - whilst here - do most people use a mint or a wally style protractor? I use a clearaudio very similar to Llofgren A? 
Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma
I think I hae a universal protractor with My HiFi News Test Record - i am going to check that first as I bought a Jelco Headshell and I do not think it is any different to any other headshell in terms of dimensions 
Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma
Actually i was using my clearaudio alignment gage - which i know is a bit different to Bearwald and Lofgren - although i must say i've always been happy with the results. I may try the other protractors first

New Gold Note PH 10
@slimpikin - you're confused with the Whest 0.20 and the whest two. Mine is their first 2 box phono stage. The two is actually a lower model. James Henriot is a very nice guy - very very knowledgable. Part of the reason you never see reviews is du... 
FIDELITY RESEARCH STEP-UP TRANSFORMERS
@rauliruegas My other option is a further phono stage with multiple inputs - my big problem is that I do not want a sideways or backwards manoeuvre given that both the phono stages I have are very good already...

@rauliruegas I am also exploring a Manley Skipjack or other switching device. I just want to know, in part, why so many swear by SUTs 
THE GOLDEN AGE OF TURNTABLES!
Btw when i said EMT motor i meant cartridge motor. Maybe we should first set out the dark age.. i suggest the 80’s and 90’s - linn, cd’s, shoulder pads😉Whilst records were not mainstream at least dj’s kept them alive - its what got me into this
