Thanks, John. As it happens, I own both an original metal Dennesen and a UNI. I tend to use the Dennesen only to set P2S. (I mark the desired distance on a piece of white paper and then set up the Dennesen so its pointy end is on one mark and the center of the spindle hole is over the other mark. Then set the adjusted Dennesen on the spindle and "Bob's your uncle".) I don't like using it for cartridge alignment because I have a very difficult time seeing its grid and sensing the position of the little dimple that marks the target for the stylus tip. (Also, many of the vintage Japanese tonearms are not meant for Lofgren A.) The UNI is a little better for that purpose. As I mentioned privately, I have a bias against twisting the cartridge in the headshell, based on one bad experience doing that. So I tend to favor using the geometry for which a particular tonearm was designed.
Question on FR 66s
For some reason, search on FR 66s in agon did not turn up anything much. I recalled that recommended S2P distance is 296mm rather than 295mm and Stevenson geometry seems to work best. Is this correct? I already have FR 64s which works very nicely with Koetsu. In general, does FR 66s works well with the more modern cartridges, Lyra, Air Tight, Dynavector etc.
I am kind of curious to try it but not sure what to try it with. Beside those mentioned on my system page, I have Kiseki Blue, XV-1s and Miyajima Zero on hand currently.
Thanks for any suggestion.
