We've been down this road before. There is no such thing in audio as "the best", in any category. It's safe to say that the FR14 is not the best at the price limit of less than $1500; you've mentioned that you can buy one for $550, which is roughly fair market value for it. So if you're really searching for Nirvana for less than $1500, why did you ask about the FR14? Also, you might do better by asking for the best or optimal tonearm to match a particular cartridge. Do you use MM or MC type cartridges, for example? Cartridge weight and compliance are key factors to consider in selecting a tonearm.
