Finally working on getting back 'into the groove' after quite a few years of storing my turntables and main system. Would like to know what other FR64 tonearm owners have found in the line of cartridges that work well, especially MM type. The main table I have ready for now is a Technics Sp10 MK2 (mounted on factory plinth...which technically makes it a SL1000 MK2) with a Fidelity Research FR64s (w/silver wiring). The cartridge used is a Fidelity Research FR-1 MK3F, mounted on a Sumiko head shell (lower mass than FR cartridge holder). When I was previously using this combination, I used the lighter counterweight on the FR64s with the lighter Sumiko cartridge holder for less mass, as I believe the FR-1 performs better with less mass. I would like to get the FR-1 re-tipped and so I need to get something take it's place. I also just purchased/received a Schiit Mani for phone stage duty until I get the rest of my system finished.
Or.... maybe it would just be easier to sell all this and just buy a new modern turntable... :)
