I have a Cosmos with a FR64FX tonearm and the B60 base. This combo is too heavy by 6 ounces according to SOTA. I used the adjustable VTA to compensate for a very long term and slow sinking of the armboard over many years. I thought about getting a different tonearm but just cannot give up the FR.
I sent my Cosmos in (original model and it was upgraded to IV by Kirk). I enjoy it immensely and it has quiet background that came close to my digital rig. I had no urge to upgrade but in discussing the VI updates with Donna she stated the mag platter was killer good and from past experience I know she does not throw out hyperbole or strong arm tactics for an income stream.
I just had my Cosmos updated to VI specs with the condor/roadrunner, mag platter, and brand new springs. By the time I have too worry about new springs I probably won't be able to hear.
Owned a Sapphire for a number of years. It was a fine fine deck.
Great table, Great Company.
