lohanimal, Well I owned FR- frt 3 and 5 with switches. By inspecting
their inside construction I have seen more soldering points then
by any tonearm with removable headshell. What is more I got advice
from our ''old member'' Dertonarm who preferred FR ''everything''
above any other products. He advised FR- XF-1 (L) which he used
himself. But my problem was that I own MC carts with different
impedances such that I would need all 3 (+ m and h kinds) .
I also own Kiseki step-up (low impedance) made by Kondo san
(AudioNote) for his friend Van den Dungen. However I use step-up
only for my Ortofon MC 2000 with 0.05 mV. My phono-pres can
drive all other MC carts . So my advice is based on my own experience .
As should be the case with all advices.
I see your preference is based on your ''comfort'' instead on
''optimal results''. Sorry for my misinterpretation.
