They look cool, like a frog eyed, bug eye Sprite sports car, and sound very cool and neutral. If you are hoping for a warm, sweet sound, this is hard to achieve with an FR-7. I use mine with a Music Ref RM-4 tube headamp, but it is still not as sweet sounding as I prefer. But, then again, not many carts are as sweet as my reference, a vintage Ortofon SPU...

Comparing it to my now unfortunately gone Mr. Brier, which also looked awesome on the FR64S, the Brier was almost as sweet as an SPU...
