Hi Bonzo, I tried the Zero with a FR-64FX and SAEC 407/23. The Zero prefers the 407/23. Did you finally jump in? Best wishes, SM
Mine worked great on the Ikeda 407.
My Titanium Groovemaster II just came in, built beautifully, especially for <$2000. I suspect that would be a good match. I havent got a chance to spend time with it. Maybe in a couple weeks.
I see. The Zero didn’t have a chance to be mounted on the SAEC 506/30 as it was hogged by the Koetsu. Will keep you posted if I decide to do that over the weekend. In any event, the Zero is simply a buy
With respect to koetsu owners, it is 1/100th of the zero.
What phono are you using the SUT into? And do you have the phono Eq curves?
So you play old original monos in normal RIAA without adjusting to their curve?
Used my Zero in all of my 4 arms, theese are Kuzma 4P - TriPlanar - OL Conqueror 12» - Reed 3P.
I really love it in the Reed, maybe a bit too heavy and stiff to match that arm but the sound is fantastic in that arm. I also have the matching SUT.
Fr64, Ikeda407 and Schick. Must say the Schick 12 inch works great.

What differences between the fr64 and the Ikeda
The 407 was a wee bit more bland although this was less evident with zero in comparison to other carts. I did not pay much attention to the differences, however.
Thanks, was this the chrome version or the Matt version of the Ikeda?
