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

Raul,

You must be kidding. I'm beginning to wonder if in fact, you have a brain cell. You go back to '13 to quote Dover?


dover: """  do you have right now on hand the 505?

If yes just try Baerwald or Löfgren alignment changing the P2S distance from Stevenson. Then listen and listen in between ( B, L and S alignments. ) and return here to share your experiences there.

If not, your post is useless and futile this time. """

There's only one reason you'd write something so stupid.

I agree with Soundsmith.  You're an undeclared manufacturer using this forum to promote your private sales.  I wonder how many of your preamp sales and used cartridges exchanges paid a fee to AudioGon.  I suspect you dine in luxury and fail to leave a tip.

I was going to explain where I think you went wrong in your basic assumptions, but upon further reflection, I think not.

Raul,

Please accept my apologies for those that would make fun of you for your "not perfect English'...:-(

In addition let me state that i have read dozens of your posts or replies and have even joined you with discussions on several topics and NOT ONCE did i ever feel you were spiteful or just plain mean!

Those above [and they know who they are!] are accusing you of having an opinion...:-)

And we all know that opinions are like "Assholes" everybody has one!

Do not be deterred by ignorance or the millionth person who beats his chest to the sad "my comparison is to real,unamplified music" and i have GOLDEN EARS syndrome!

Be well,

Azjake

Dear friends: Curious, this is what Dover posted at the end of 2013:


"""" I prefer Baerwald A for all my pivoted arms including the Dynavector which was designed for Stevenson. """


and in this thread he disregards me " severely " because I used/tested Baerwald/Löfgren B with Dyna tonearm !!!!!!!!!!!

Btw, that’s the first time I read: Baerwald A, maybe a new kind of alignment by dover. Now, I understand why dover posted his " history " and seems to me that was to justify him self with other people eyes about his audio " knowledge " level.

Anyway a learning day as always.


Regards and enjoy the music,
R.

Dear azjake: I really don't care of those people trying to " insult/disregards " my opinion. Some one, like me, that post and posted several times a day always exist persons that because their audio knowledge level disagree or because they can't understand my points puts at " defensive " attaking me with out success and normally ends in the frustration of each one of them but that's how things are " around here " or " around me " because it happens in other forums through the net. All these kind of people still think that each thread/post is a contest and each one of them wants to win when my self only want to learn and share first hand experiences, that's all.

There is a telling people here in México ( please is not an insult to any one, far away from that. Is only a way to say things in some ocasions.): " let the dogs shout ".


Nice to know from you again. It's pity that many of the " regulars " in this analog forum suddenly " disappeared "   ??????


Regards and enjoy the music,
R.
