Fidelity Research FR-64x
Dear chakster, the only way ''to know more'' is to try both versions with your FR-7f. With FR-64 S you can use the ''ordinary weight''. I hope that our member Syntax who really knows everything better will ''shine in''.

Dear Lew, This is not the first time that you try to explain ''whatRaul is trying to say''.  Either Raul is no capable to explain whathe thinks or you know better what he thinks than himself.However by ascribing some thoughts to him it is not clea...

Dear chakster, If you think of FR-64s and FR-fx without counterweight and headshell there will be not much difference qua armmass. Nobody uses the original  FR- headshell (S/3 19.5 g). I don't use any FR or Ikeda headshell because they are mediocr...

The availability on eBay is some indication for the succes ofwhatever item. One can find TW 10.5 each time one looks at the German site ''audio-markt'' . This presuppose ownerswho are willing to part from this tonearm.This should count as one less...

Considering the (very) attractive price as well so much praisefor the Trans-Fi I am wondering if those ''intensive care connections''have something to do with sceptical attitude by buyers ?Chakster, Despite the fact that dgarretson also seems to s...
