Dear wrm0325: Please don’t ask for something that no one have on hand ever and I mean not only amateurs like you and me but professionals in audio.
""" the final proof for each of us is in the listening """
this depends mainly in which step of the audio/music ladder you are because if youare a rookie then what you listening has very small value or even if you are at average level.
Now, can you distinguish/discriminate between diferent kind of distotions? say: wrong cartridge overhang vs wrong SRA? , if you can please give me an example of them: wich are the differences during listening? what is the kind of sound you percieves?
If you can’t do it then keep with you the 66. It’s not important wich tonearm you own as is not important which cartridges you own.
I know your answer because you agree with halcro who was one of those " satisfied " DaVinci tonearm owners. DaVinci fixed its mistakes but halcro did not and as many other of us make other mistake with the 66, this time worst than with the DaVinci and he is not alone.
We can´t talk about if you can’t discriminate between musical information and subtle distortions and its harmonics.
Regards and enjoy the music,
R.
