Whest and Pass are both really good SS. If you do a comparison you may pm me to try out the AudioSpecials Phonolab; it too is solid state and very low noise. Since I am a dealer for them I wont elaborate on subjective sq. If you read the German reviews tests show that you will not find much quieter at any price.
*if* the budget could stretch and *if* tube gear is acceptable to you then the Emia and the CS Port are both super awesome...

@jjgasp I don't use Koetsu however there is a long documented love affair of the match between Koetsu and the FR64S/FR66S tonearms. If vintage isn't your thing there is some buzz around the Glanz arms having similar synergy.

Is your 4PT the 11"?
