Question on FR 66s

Dear Thuchan, I am really sorry for you but Daniel obviously love me more than you. However I like to think that my ingenious comparison between 'iron horse and locomotive' (aka the usual headshell versus Arche) moved Daniel in such a way that he decided to give me a present...
You as the owner of a company are of course familiar with the so called 'intellectual ownership'. When Raul refers to 'his' pre-amp, 'his' tonearm ,etc, 'his' , he rarely mention his employee Guliermos (or similar) who is actually the technical guy behind the products mentioned.
As you know the intellectual property is of the company and not of the employees inside the company. As Raul told us himself he managed to change some fuses, caps and resistors on his own. Well I am sure that my aunt Natalija in Serbia is also capable to solder such parts with their values writen on their 'heads' in whatever component. You can observe the same capabilities in the speaker thread. Unbelievable how many speaker experts are there, capable to discovere 'cheap wire' and/ or 'capacitors' in any speaker whatever. It is like this : 'Heureka'!: cheap wire inside! No wonder Nordost get rich with such experts.

Regards,

Dear Raul,
I have my SAEC WE 8000 quite a long time and will not sell it - never!
I will not repeat arguements on our discussion. You had not the best experiences with the SAEC or the FR-66s. So which tonearm "will beat" these two old designs from your perspective? And did you go for some better designs in your system?

Dear Nandric, you may be right regarding mint protractor.
I think I will try SMARTracker for a little while. At least I want to spend a bit more time experimenting with 230 vs 231.5mm on FR64s and once I made up my mind, then I get mint.
For FR66s, did Dertoarm have alternative P2S distance as well or only the FR's spec of 295mm only?

For the FR-66s....Dertonarm is happy with the 295mm P2S distance.
For the 231.5mm P2S distance on the FR-64s.....be sure to amend the Overhang to 14.5mm for it to follow Dertonarm's geometry?
You cannot use any regular protractor for this....but the old Feikert Universal had an Overhang measuring scale.

I asked Daniel (Dertonarm) about the 'geometry' of all those FR-7 versions. He still swears by those 'antiquity' while his answer surprised me very much. The stylus in
those huge headshells is not at the same distance by all of them. So, probable, even Dertonarm was/is not able to get the right geometry for his 66/ 7 (x) combos? If I was an Aussie I would inform by Daniel about my own specimen. But the most curious thing is that my FR-7 stylus follows exactly the curve on my Mint protractor made for my FR64
with 231,5 mm P2S distance.
