hi all

as per my wanted ad I've been after a new cartridge as an upgrade. thought I had a Decca London blue with fresh line contact stylus but it fell through.

I've also been looking at the dl103 with shibata tip and alumide body.. but compliance and the performance being a relatively unknown quantity held me back

I've been eyeing up the fr1 from emporium for a few weeks.. there is very little info on this but what is out there is positive.. my question is does any have any experience of this cartridge? or have any input on how suitable it is on my setup..

setup is heavily modified td160 solid burr elm plinth etc.. arm choices are a well sorted tp16mk1 and an original mission774

I use a trichord dino mk1 into a unison research s2 as I know that will have a bearing on cartridge choice

thabks for your time reading my ramblings
