Most women say it makes no difference.
FR64 to FR66 conversion Analogmagik
Hi guys
I read the thread started by @syntax whose opinion I genuinely value. I have decided to get Richard Mak to refurb my FR64s arm.
Whilst on the website I saw you could get an FR66 replica arm tube.
Has anyone done this conversion?
What is the benefit of going 9 to 12 inches?
There is a very solid school of thought advocated by the maker of the SAT arm and the late great Max Townshend that the shorter the arm the better - rigidity and also resonance outweigh tracking improvement…
I would be grateful for the input of anyone particularly those who have both arms or got the conversion
thanks 🙏

@lewm you bad man 👿 😂 |
@lewm - those women have been lying to you. |
If 9 inches isn’t enough… I’m just saying. Seriously, although the FR66S commands much bigger bucks than the FR64S, from a collector point of view, I’m not sure it’s a good idea to convert one to the other, especially given the probable high cost of the conversion. It’s really a matter of personal choice and having a cartridge that’s particularly suited to the even higher effective mass of the 12 incher. I do know that some of our European friends revere the 66. |
