FR64S tonearm overhaul

Sorry to resurrect this old post but maybe someone can provide some advice on which cable I could get for the FR64s phono interconnect? any advice on a specific one? shielded? type of DIN connector? etc.

Luis, check this if you want something ready to go. You can return any Zu Audio product, so that’s the best.

Another advice is to replace the armlift with a new one (stainless steel) if your original is not perfect. You will get 12 EUR VAT refund since you’re not in EU (just ask the seller), so the price is EUR 58 + shipping, check the link:

If your phono stage permits balanced operation

Touche, MP1

@chakster
Thanks Chak as always, will try both

I am missing the adapter for on the fly but it will do for now

luisma, True balanced phono stages, other than the MP1, are not that uncommon these days.  Oddly and sadly, more so among solid state devices than among tube types.  I guess I wrote up the balanced idea mostly because some dealers propagate the notion that you need some major rebuild to "convert" from single-ended to balanced operation of a phono cartridge.  This is not true; the standard DIN connection can be done either way, depending upon the topology of the cable between the tonearm and the phono stage.

Have a question in regards to capacitance, apparently silver provides way better low capacitance than copper, however the capacitance parameters just seems to affect MM not MC. Is it really that critical lowering down capacitance let's say 1 meter copper 180 pF vs 1 meter silver 84 pF?
