Looking for tonearm inspiration

I just bought a used SME 20/12 turntable that is about 15 years old.  I also had a used 

Dynavector DRT XV-1s rebuilt/are tipped.  Odd as it may seem, there was no tonearm with the turntable.  I have yet to identify what the phono stage, but listening so far suggest a Sutherland Loco (still open to alternatives).  There must be many out there that have had experience with the SME 20/12 turntable and perhaps a few that have had experience with the SME/Dynavector combination.  Can you suggest a tonearm that had some magic for you with either bit of gear?  Wide range of music: Rock, Jazz, Female Vocal and a bit of Opera from time to time.

Yea, what is all this chatter about power amps about? Start your own thread. This went from interesting to dead boring.

Yea, I couldn't follow that either. No offense Raul, My Spanish is far, far worse than your English.

I'd take a Pro version of the FR64/66fx if the price was right. Yup mijostyn, I'd even put a old chisel  monster on it. LOLJust depends on what your looking for.

raul, could you explain what this means? It was directed at me. Are you taking a potshot at my new tonearm?
Problem is that those designs are undamped/way resonant and second are balanced designs and just rings as a " bell " using a non-adequated mechanism to set the VTF ( @billwojo . )

So did @chilli42 ever decide on a tonearm? This thread zigged and zagged in so many directions I think he may have bailed out on us.
