Equal or better tonearm than Jelco for like amount of money

Jelco is definitelty NOT for high compliance cartridges, such arms must be 5g mass. Jelco mass is much higher, it’s for mid compliance, with heavier headshell can be used for high-ish compliance cartridges.

Thimas Schick tonearms available in "9 or "12 inch, removable headshells. Modest price. 

Chakster
TS-350S MKll  effective mass is ~ 9 grams

TS-350S MKll  effective mass is ~ 9 grams

Maybe i missed that model, classic Jelco 750D series are higher mass, but no one can recall exact mass (15-21g?) 

FR64S for similar price or LESS than Jelco?  On what planet?

Chakster I do have 750EB and with heavy (not original) headshell it’s in the region of 20 with test disk.

Although Jelco abandoned old series and new series compliance is much higher. In 12 inch they do have only 13 grams.

So IMO if someone likes high compliance it’s the last chance.
