Vinny, I'm afraid that the FR14 is rather a rare bird and was never accorded the attention given to the FR64 or FR66, in S or FX versions. Therefore, you are probably not going to elicit a lot of opinions from persons who actually have owned and used it. This is not at all to say it is not a good tonearm. Jelco tonearms get a lot of positive comments on this and other forums, and they are in the same price range, more or less. Add to that the new-ness of a Jelco, and I would have to agree with the other guys.
Anyway, I would be leery of anyone's opinion on a tonearm, unless it's very negative and the negativity is justified by specific statements. Most of us have a strong listener bias, a tendency to at least "like" what we paid for, whether we admit it or not.
