    I'm going away for several weeks on Saturday, so if anyone wants this for summer, now is the time.

    I've been watching this arm since it came up for sale, but I'm not sure if it would be a good match for my Zyx R100 cartridge?

    I have an AT 33PTGII and Ortofon MC25FL as back ups.

    Anyone out there with advice regarding the Zyx and this arm?

    Should be bang on ... the R100 is medium compliance which is a good match. While the FR64S is higher mass/suitable for very low compliance, and with a heavy headshell the FR64x can handle very low compliance as well, it's actually lower mass than the FR64S especially with the standard headshell, which is good news for more mainstream cartridges of which the R100 is one. The AT and the Ortofon should be OK as well.

    In addition to what Tom said, I've used the FR64x with an AT33EV and it works very well. I think it's very versatile, and sonically it is neutral and very open.

    Thanks for both replies, I'll have a think, I prefer the look of a silver one but seeing as they're hard to find by in any finish beggars can't be choosers lol

    I've to factor in the cost of a new armboard too.

    Back in touch soon.

    The 64fx is always black, the heavier 64S always steel colour.
