I have one, which I use with the B60 base, a necessary accessory in my opinion to get the best out of it. I have to agree there is something special about these tonearms. Even mismatching high compliance cartridges with the high effective mass sometimes works very well, i.e., better than matching those same cartridges with tonearms that do have appropriately low effective mass. (This is not an opinion, just an observation.)

Must include the FR headshell that came with the tonearm. In a weak attempt to play by the rules, I usually use a lightweight headshell, CF works well, with relatively high compliance cartridges. I don't even own a stock FR headshell. Recently, I installed a Koetsu Urushi on my FR64S, a better more typical mass vs compliance match, using an Ortofon LH9000 headshell that weighs 18g. I've owned the Koetsu for 9 years and never ever has it sounded so good, in other tonearms.
Yes, that includes the stock head shell.
I don't have a FR tonearm but ended up with some stuff back when the importer, FR USA, here in Ventura CA closed down. The FR-S/6 weights 12g.
