FR66s vs Ikeda IT-407 CR tonearms


Has anyone compared the FR66s to the newer Ikeda IT-407 CR1 tonearm? Any thoughts? In previous years, the Ikeda was available with either copper or silver internal wiring but the recent models don't mention anything about the tonearm wiring. Can anyone comment what type of wiring is used in the latest editions? It would seem intuitive that the later Ikeda IT407 should be a better performer than the FR66s having improved material and bearings over the FR66s but the proof is in the hearing.

Read the manual regarding anti-skating and buy Hi-Fi News TEST LP to adjust it.
I think you have to use it, but don't add too much
Iโ€™m just getting a FR66S fortunately, may I have any recommendations of Tonearm cable well match with FR66S?

Silver or copper made is better?

Thanks a lot!
The FR66s has silver internal cabling.
But it's finally up to you, your catridge and your system.
Congratulations @eggberg....I assume you're the happy winner of the Japan Yahoo Auctionย for the FR-66S ๐ŸŽ‰
If I didn't already have two of them, I would have been tempted to bid.
It looks to be a complete set in mint condition (which is rare) with an original box in pristine condition (even rarer).....

I have both of mine, plus my FR-64S (Silver) hooked up with Cardas Golden Reference phono cable (since superseded by Cardas Clear), and am very happy with the results.
There are those who insist on Silver Phono Cables as well as Silver Cartridge Leads to match their Silver-wound Kondo SUT....but I'm not one of those ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

What table and cartridge/s will you be using?

I think you'll be amazed at the results with this arm....
It is simply the best tonearm I have ever heard (other than the Copperhead) and surprisingly.....works with every cartridge I have tried.

You're a lucky man.....๐Ÿ‘ย 
Isamu Ikeda recommended copper based phono cable with his silver wired arms - he believed in balancing the sonic attributes of each cable type.

Personally, with my silver wired FR64S, I use different cables depending on cartridge - for moving coils I use custom built MIT phono cables, for moving magnets I use ultra low capacitance custom silver phono cable from Audioplan ( not available commercially ).

In my experience Cardas has a cardboard/sepia colouration to the sound across the board.

If you prefer silver, Kondo is excellent.
