I don’t know the source of Dover’s piece of information, but Ikeda San’s recommendations should always be taken seriously. Indeed, for my silver wired FR64S I get great results with Kimber KS-1216 copper tonearm cable into Ortofon T-3000 silver wired SUT (and from there again copper Phasemation CC-1000 to the phono preamp).
There’s plenty of info here about matching cartridges. The FR64/66 series was designed for heavy low compliance systems like Ortofon SPU and of course their own FR7, but seems pretty universal in use. According to user reports it can handle just about anything, even high compliance MM’s.
