I never understood all those conversations about heavier wands or lighter wands… What all this silliness came from? The Mass of the wand, along with mass of cartridge, shell and the shit that we pile up sometimes in shell make the effective mass of the whole construction. The effective mass talks to cartridge compliance. That is it. If you have wand with less mass then juts add a few grams to shell. There is absolutely no advantage or disadvantage of light or heavy wand. You have too heavy wand – juts add more mass on the other side of tonearm. The few grams of the wand difference does not make any affect to dynamic balance of arm. The material, stiffness and construction of wand do but mass do not.

Romy, I agree, I also never understood why mass so important, thats why I said "some" think it to heavy. I should have just written the Panzerholz is heavier, but still the people I talked to said it to heavy.

It is incorrect question to ask. The right question shall be: what 3012 does bad that it need to be “improved” by FR-66s ?

I presume you think it incorrect question due to your preference for 3012, but still posing it your way makes me feel you think the 3012 can be improved upon by the 66s, I thought you thought it could not?
