Fidelity Research FR-64x

@invictus005 First Watt B1 is a passive buffer preamp to solve impedance issues, but it has no active gain. It has no sound signature, just the link between your source and power amp. 

Japanese have always used Stevenson or Stevenson like alignments. They are the worst. Both Lofgren A and B are significantly better in distortion and real world sound. Raul is right. 

@nandric haha, you make me laugh :) 

Dear @ibelchev:  Your alignment is rigth and better that use the Stevenson A.

Problem  when we use 247mm/250mm Löfgren A alignmemntb is not the tonearm/headshell but those cartridges you and other persons like: SPU or FR7. This is the real problem on alignment.

So all of you not only are not  hearing a top cartridge quality level performance through the FR7s and you can't have that top quality performance because inside the dedicated FR cartridge the wires/connectors to permit the signal pass through makes a severe degradation to the signal and this is part of what you like.
Additional the cartridge is mounted in a non-damped tonearm in a way resonannt one that additional comes with a VTF ringing mechanism and that if not enough with that using Stevenson A way higher developed distortions and tracking error.

At least you don't use Stevenson any more.

I'm not against of what you like it because that is your privilege.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
