[XV-1]

The fcl tone arm is quite amazing guys. On the basis of the reviews here I reached out and got one for my t1 turntable. The arm is a phenomenal match with the at mc2022 and the main difference.... Details! I hear much much more from this combination and with that came everything in spades

I did a lot of research before settling on the fcl. It just had a high pretest probability for me. And I am very happy that it has proven itself many times over

Friends! If you are looking for a tone arm. Consider the fcl! You won't regret it.

Hi Ian

Are you importing Primary Control tonearms into AU?
Might need to to ping you if you are.

I thought you were a digital boi until I saw the Esoteric turntable. LOL

Cheers Shane

Yes, very very nice indeed, must be one of very few combinations of being the very finest in production today. ENJOY plasmod3.

I recently added a 12" Birch Primary Control FCL to my Wave Kinetics NVS and the results have far exceeded my already tall expectations. I am hearing subtlties and detailed expression that are more nuanced than anything I have previously experienced with my analog chain. It is paired with an Etsuro Gold cart. The level of detail is astonishing, but it is presented in a very natural and relaxed manner. The FCL with the Etsuro has surpassed any other combination I have experienced to date.

I would also like to sincerely express my gratitude to Bernd Hemmen at Primary Control for upgrading my FCL to the current spec. The entire process was quick and straightforward. I purchased the arm second hand with the intention of upgrading it sometime in the future, and it turned out there were a few issues that required repair that were discovered upon arrival. Bernd was willing to do the fixes and upgrade at the same time, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. I'm spending so much more time listening to vinyl since the arm came back. I am still dialing everything in, and each fine adjustment is yielding great improvement. Please feel free to reach out with any questions about my recent experience with Primary Control. Happy to share.

Might you contextualise your consideration by advising us of your previously owned tonearms ? No worries If you would rather not .
