Complimentary 2nd Cartridge/Tonearm for Dr. Feickert Blackbird

My main cartridge/tonearm is a Soundsmith Hyperion/Kuzma 4-Point into a Pass Labs XP-27. Want the 2nd cartridge and tonearm to be a totally different sound - probably leaning to the warm/colored/lush side. Tonearm will likely be Schick 9” (left armboard limits the length I can utilize.). Want to do the 2nd cart on a budget (< $2,000) since I shot my load on everything else.

The Schick is not a very good arm. I have listened to the 12" at length. It sounds like porridge - thick and gooey. Even a cheap Rega arm would blow it away.

FR64 in good condition is a good option.

Jelco TK series are quite good - some still available if you look around\

Audiomods is outstanding value for money.
