FR64S tonearm overhaul
Dear @luisma31 : Always is healthy to have the lower capacitance in that kind of operationsl cable and in the other side silver is better signal conductor than cooper and you want that the cartridge signal goes out of your speakers with the higher quality you can achieve through your room/system..

Not every wire in audio is silver, there are so many people who like copper more than silver. It's a personal preferences. Luis, I'd like to recommend you to replace arm lift on FR-64s, got mine from Italy, made especially for FR-64s, this arm lift replica is stainless steel and it's much better than the original (unless your original is like new). My original arm lift wasn't good, new one is superb! I'm happy. |

Congratulations on your score My buddy has the FR64S silver wired and it is a fantastic arm. He basically gifted me a FR64FX with the B60 base when I got his SOTA sapphire (he had two). The Zu phono cable was very cost effective and I used it for decades. I upgraded to a Cosmos and retained my FR arm and base. I bought a Triode Wire Labs phono cable as I use Triode wire labs for interconnects and power cables. Not trying to be a shill but I would let the Zu Xaus phono cable go for any reasonable offer. It has tons of reproduction so should be broke in for sure. It has a fraying by the ground wire but it does not expose the wire or affect performance. If interested pm me. If not, no problem and enjoy. A great arm and true classic. Hell I still run FR cartridges (rebuilt nowadays of course) Cheers |
