Hi Guys

Does anyone run this combo or have experience ?

Looking at the stock FR-S3 headshell which has a tall lip at the front (and all the way round) it looks as though the Koetsu Jade might be a tight fit and I may not have enough front to back latitude of momvement to achieve the correct overhang.

In simple terms, can one mount a stone bodied koetsu using the stock headshell or do I need to source a simpler one with no lip like the ikeda variety ?

grateful for any help

regards,


Richard

If you have an FR-66s...I find it hard to believe that you have no other cartridges or headshells?
But if you really don't...and are purchasing a stone-bodied Koetsu, I know it may be a stretch....but surely you can borrow the $30-$150 required to purchase an alternate headshell?
And then all your questions will be answered.....:p
