My personal ranking after a few years of using and listening.
The ranking is based on a combination from maximum Performance with different cartridges (weight, compliance ...) mounted in each Arm
Best is above

1.FR-64s, FR-66s
2.Graham Phantom, DaVinci Grandezza
3.Kuzma Airline
4.Graham 2.2, Triplanar VII, Kuzma 4P
5.SME V, Schroeder Ref., Well Tempered Ref.,
6.Hadcock, Rega
The Triplanar is not first rate with cartridges, which transform a lot of energy into the Arm. The Lyra Skala is one of theses cartridges. The best performance was with the heavy DaVinci (by far)
