Halcro,
Comparing the structural rigidity of the Orsonic to conventional headshells is nebulous really. One is a set of torsion bars, the other a flat plate. Both have resonances, just a different set.
As far as the FR S3 headshell goes, it is a symphony of resonance, topped off with a massive bolt and cartridge bedplate that induces electrical distortion in the cartridge. Even Boeing ensure that metal lumps next to sensitive electronics should be minimised - steel has magnetic interaction, aluminium induces hysteresis distortion.
