The question is confusing. The question should be:

top 5 vintage tonearms bellow 2500 which will beat

anything above 2,5 K .

My answer Sumiko 800 (the arm) , FR-64S , Micro 505

will beat some of the (new) tonearms above 2.5K.

NB 5 is numerical quantor; anything is universal . We have

no idea what ''anything''  refers to.

@amg56, Is ''Stogi Reference'' made by Kuzma? Can

this tonearm be counted as ''vintage''?

@nandric 

Define vintage? 1996? considering the advances in tonearms and cartridges to 2018 I would define it as getting vintage, and still brilliant.

Im using TW Raven 10.5 on my TW AC1 turntable with all Black Night upgrades and Transfiguration Proteus cartridge for best analog sound.
