Tonearm recommendation

Hello all,
Recently procured a Feickert Blackbird w/ the Jelco 12 inch tonearm.
The table is really good, and its a keeper. The Jelco is also very good, but not as good as my Fidelity Research FR66s. So the Jelco will eventually hit Ebay, and the question remains do I keep the FR66s or sell that and buy something modern in the 5-6 K range. My only point of reference is my old JMW-10 on my Aries MK1, so I don't know how the FR66s would compare to a modern arm. So I'd like to rely on the collective knowledge and experience of this group for a recommendation.

Keep the FR66s, or go modern in the 5-6K range, say a Moerch DP8 or maybe an SME.

Any and all thoughts and opinions are of course much appreciated.

Cheers,      Crazy Bill

Dear ninetynine: Certainly I don't care of your " teacher ". In the other side, because seems to me that you agree with that " teacher " please tell me where and why losted I the " point "? and which is your point?

Thank's in advance.

Regards and enjoy the music,

WTF? This is a tonearm thread, not another boring digital vs analog one!

It is easy to set up once you get a handle on how to do it and once set up allows excellent and repeatable fine tuning of VTF, SRA and Azimuth -- the latter via adjusting the height of the "outrigger" that controls the lateral roll.

@Folkfreak

I am curious what you mean by the word "repeatable" in your sentence ? Looking to learn. thank you.

Even Durand has now eschewed the use of wood and gone to some sort of synthetic material for their arm wands. Seems odd, because the company was founded on the principle that their particular choice of wood from a particular species of tree was key.
