    If your had £1300 to spend on a Tonearm?

    Thinking about selling my Fidelity Research FR64FX arm, in fact I had it advertised last week then withdrew it as I changed my mind, I'm swithering again.

    However, can I better it if I did sell it, and with a budget of around £1325 ( I choose this figure as that's what I've been quoted for another second hand upgraded arm I'm looking at, which is essentially retail price for that arm if you know what I mean ) can I do better that the Fidelity?

    I like Electronic, Rock ( classic/soft/metal/prog ), Blues ( Keb 'Mo/SRV ), some Americana to give you an idea of my tastes.

    I've been reading up on the AO PU7, The Wand Plus, Audio Technica 1010T ( modded by Phonomac ), Tiger Paw Javelin, plus a few others.

    This will be fitted to a Panzerholz plinth using an SP10 mk2 turntable, my Fidelity arm is 230mm pivot to spindle so this seemingly works/looks fine, I'm not averse to using 10" or 12" arms, I just want the best sound for the best price, so I'm looking at used prices.

    Hana ML cartridge in use just now.

    Spec:

    Stylus: Nude Microline
    Cantilever: Aluminium
    Magnet: Alnico
    Rec. Tracking Force: 2g
    Trackability: 70µ/2g
    Compliance: 10×10-6 cm/dyne
    Channel Separation: 30dB @ 1kHz
    Frequency Range: 12Hz to 45kHz
    Impedance: 8Ω (ML)
    Suggested Load Impedance: <100Ω (ML)
    Suggested Load Impedance: 47kΩ (MH)
    Cartridge Weight: 9.5g

    Any thoughts?

    I'll be posting this very same message on several Forums to gather opinions, be interesting to read the results.

    Thanks
