Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma
Orsonic AV-101 silver or black AudioCraft or IKEDA or a bit ligher AudioCraft and Fidelity-Research watcha like ? what is the size and weight of the counterweight on your 64s tonearm ? |
I have used Ortofon LH9000 (for high effective mass, weighs 18g by itself) and Oyaide and Yamamoto carbon fiber headshells (both weigh ~10g; for high-ish compliance cartridges). In fact, I have never owned an FR headshell and wouldn't be looking for one, because they do not have the best reputation for sonics. With the P2S set at 231.5mm, as in your case, the headshell screws are about midway in the slots of all 3 of those headshells, when doing Baerwald alignment. So I don't know what your problem could be; it should work fine. |
Dear @lohanimal : I agree with @lewm , maybe you are using Stevenson alignment that's no recommendable.
