Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k?

Stupid things. You just read but in reality did not my post. Re-read it.

Why you said: "  and supposed to be made for each other."" when the tonearm appeared at the begening of that year and the cartridge at the end ! ? ! ?

@c

Dear @vinny55: Your thread has no sense at least what you stated:

"""  From all your tonearm experiences trials errors comparisons etc is there a Top 5 tonearm list that are known for their musical superlatives in all music ranges and genres? including finer detail nuances feeling, 3d sound but also deep bass and midbass, basspunch. Airy highs. And importantly long hours listening without fatigue. """

Where do you learn that could exist the possibility that a tonearm can comes with those atributes/characteristics?

Btw, the incredible things in this thread is that all other gentlemans already gave you opinions in your no-sense statement ! ! ! ???
I N C R E D I B L E   !

The black body cartridges started at the end of 1980.

What is your source to make sure the carts are from the end of the 1980 while the FX series of the tonearm is from the beginning of the 1980?

Why you said: " and supposed to be made for each other."" when the tonearm appeared at the begening of that year and the cartridge at the end ! ? ! ?

They are from the same year (1980), your statement must be checked, but actually it doesn’t change anything. With optional W-250 counterweight FX series of the Fidelity-Research tonearm is suitable for FR-7f and FR-7fz cartridges from the same designer, but also suitable for lighter carts with different counterweight. This tonearm is more universal than its predecessor 64s. I didn’t said it was made exclussively for FR-7f and FR-7fz or FR-702 cartridges, but those cartridges were the best from Ikeda-San at that time and according to J.Carr - Ikeda-San is still proud of them. In my opinion matching the best products in color is also a good idea for those who cares not only about the sound, but also about aesthetics.

Does anyone have any information ob the FR-34S? It's the only Fidelity Research that I know of that would drop into mt table at 222 cm spindle to pivot.

Your thread has no sense at least what you stated ... stupid ... Stupid things ... ignorant ...  no-sense statement ...  Your logic about those cartridges with diferent color has no sense ...  other gentlemans already gave you opinions in your no-sense statement ...  you like to live in that " audio world " a wrong/dark one ...

Not everyone who disagrees with you is stupid, Raul. Not all of the "ignorant" people who disagree with you are wrong.
