I can only fairly say that to my ears the stiffened OEM plinth plus the mass-loaded mounting board plus the FR B60 base for the FR64S sounds “bigger” and with superior bass response compared to the original configuration. I could send photos if your interested but not until next week as we’re vacationing in northern CA at the moment, and I live in MD.
FR64 to FR66 conversion Analogmagik
Hi guys
I read the thread started by @syntax whose opinion I genuinely value. I have decided to get Richard Mak to refurb my FR64s arm.
Whilst on the website I saw you could get an FR66 replica arm tube.
Has anyone done this conversion?
What is the benefit of going 9 to 12 inches?
There is a very solid school of thought advocated by the maker of the SAT arm and the late great Max Townshend that the shorter the arm the better - rigidity and also resonance outweigh tracking improvement…
I would be grateful for the input of anyone particularly those who have both arms or got the conversion
thanks 🙏
