Fidelity Research FR-101

Stuey · 31st May 2007, 12:19 PM

Hi there,

I've owned the above cartridge for a few years now, used with a Rega Planar 2 with the early Acos style 'S' shaped tonearm - the so called RB-200.

I've been lucky enough to win an eBay auction for an NOS stylus for it. However, I note that it's an FR101-SE stylus. The -SE suffix is on the name plate on the stylus. The original doesn't have this - it's a plain old FR-101.

I know it's a long shot, but does anyone know what the difference is between the -SE and non-SE stylus? Obviously it must be a better 'special equipment' spec. but I can't find out anything. I'm supposing it's an elliptical versus conical diamond or something, but info. is a bit scant.

I guess reading Japanese might help on the net relating to this brand.

Cheers people.
