jan Allaerts cartridges mc1b

Can someone tell me what the manufacturer of the mc1b recommends for tonearm matching in regards to effective mass? What would the manufacturer recommend as an ideal mc1b/effective mass match to realize this cartridges optimum performance? medium or high?

 I will also be using a Miyajima zero for mono, and some alternate cart like EMT or Decca, and need a second arm, so will look for an fr64 for that.

You can also look for FR64FX (Black one).

Dear @bonzo75 : Brinkmann could be a good option for any of those great Allaerts. In many ways has son similar design " characteristics " than the very high touted Breuer tonearms.

@chakster , with all respect I think you have no idea of what you posted for the Allaerts cartridge.  Maybe you need to listen to the Formula One or at least the MC2 Finis Gold.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

I own Allaerts MC2 finish gold but was not able to find any info

about the complience of any Allaerts. I use Sumiko 8oo and

Ikeda 345 as tonearms. Both combinations sound great but

Sumiko is faster. I got the Allaerts recently and also intend to

try with my (silver wired) FR-64 S,

@rauliruegas i have no idea about Allaerts cartridges, they are out of my budget for sure, but if @bonzo75 considering superheavy FR64 then FR64FX is just the same but with a bit lighter mass. I bought this 64FX not so long ago for my FR7f cartridge.

Dear @chakster : Again, you have no idea what you are talking about and not only because Allaerts but because that worst ever tonearm you are talking . Can you understand what means " a non damped tonearm design and balanced ringing mechanism "? can you?
