I have an Fr-64S. I have a couple different alignment protractors but last year actually started using one that measures P2S distance (SmarTractor). So I set the P2S to 231.5 and like the OP, was unable to get my cartridge forward enough in the head shell to set the overhang correctly. I was using a Ortofon rosewood head shell. Had to set it at 230.0 to achieve the overhang. This strikes me as strange because using an arc protractor, I was able to use a Baerwald alignment. One of the two must be incorrect? Probably the arc.
Fidelity Research FR64s Headshell dilemma
Dear FR64S users can you help me please. I have an FR64S that i bought without a headshell. I have only just got round to getting it mounted. I did pivot to spindle distance of 231.5 (the alternative distance' I also have an armboard for 230.
I tried a Sony headshell that i had - it was 2mm short of correct alignment. So I bought a new Jelco headshell it was also too short.
CAn you tell me what headshell does work to allow other cartridges to work. I'm just using a DL103 for alignment first as I fettle the rest of my front end.
thanks
