Fidelity Research FR 14
High quality Japanese built tonearm, also available with pure silver internal wiring.
Description
While incorporating many of the innovations of the FR-66S and FR-66, the FR 14 arm features an unusual design approach in which the arm pipe is offset from the pivot point to allow a shorter pipe to be used.
This is an advantage since effective mass is lower, yet the pipe itself is stronger and does not need as large a curve as in conventional designs.
The headshell connector is a proven, highly reliable design.
The anti-skating device can he adjusted to begin operation at the point considered optimum once the tonearm has been mounted.
The FR14 is a statically balanced tonearm and the counterweight is easily and accurately adjustable by means of a precision rack and pinion device built into the weight.
