Used TechDAS Air Force III vs New Feickert Firebird with Kuzma Safir 9 vs SME 20 MK 2

I've heard a Feickert with the 4Point arm but the rest of the system wasn't great.  Not sure how you really compare a turntable unless you also know the cartridge, phono...speakers...etc. I'm about 2 hours away from any HiFi shop for borrowing anything.  No TechDAS dealer in Colorado anymore....

Thank you thr1961.  I too like a lot of Jazz and a great deal of my audiophile grade recordings are Jazz.  But I'm 43 and will play rock music and just bought some Billie Eilish.  Female vocalist are probably my favorite.  

My setup is Wilson Alexia V with Dan D'Agostino so pretty revealing.  

I plan to have two tonearms and one might run through a tube phono to make those poor recordings sound a little easier to listen to!

I like the idea of the Kuzma Safir arm. I like the look of the AF3 TechDAS better than the Stabi R.  I also like the idea of the vacuum system....

But the Stabi R comes in white which I like!  

I wonder how the Safir Arm on a Feickert would be compared to the Stabi R....

Understand the arm is next level but would the Stabi R be holding it back too much....?

I think The Audio Salon, new distributor, is going through all existing dealers and deciding who is keeping their dealership with TechDAS.

Sorry I haven't spent a lot of time investigating cartridges yet.  What is a high compliance cartridge vs low compliance?  

What I would like to use since I already own it!  Is a Mutech Hayabusa MC Cartridge.  Thoughts?

@rauliruegas 

What about the Hayabusa with an older SME IV.VI arm?

@rauliruegas

Also what unit is cu? I feel bad even asking but it’s been a while since my electrical engineering classes!
