From all your tonearm experiences trials errors comparisons etc is there a Top 5 tonearm list that are known for their musical superlatives in all music ranges and genres? including finer detail nuances feeling, 3d sound but also deep bass and midbass, basspunch. Airy highs. And importantly long hours listening without fatigue.
The criteria also to be met are easy setups for all angles vta vfa azimuth anti skating etc

@ dgarretson are Micro and Sumiko related? Whats the sound like of the Technics Epa 250/500. Please Describe the sound of the ones you listed. Thanks
@ nandric i heard from many that Fr64s is silver wired and bright. Silver isnt made for audio. Copper has been the standard and naturally musical. Fr64 is also very limited cartridge compatability even tho it sounds great from what i been told. Its a very heavy arm as told.
Describe Sumiko 808 and Micro 505
@chakster please describe how they sound and on what ttables used and cartridges hooked with

 for their important information and contribution. Appreciate it greatly. Thank you again

@lewm your just @rauliruegas apologist. What are you his interpreter and mind reader?
Both Your rhetorics are appauling and act are wearing thin. You both need to get a life. Take a trip together somewhere enjoy life and audio.

If you would been more gracious with your initial comments id treat you with more respect but after you call me names and criticize me needlessly calling my post stupid why should i treat both you jerks with respect? Why did you even bother replying.

 You Give respect get respect. Comprende companeros?
