Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k?

ct01517  Thank you for your six items a tonearm should address.  My modified SME IV falls short on ability to adjust Azimuth (shims only where necessary) and VTA (sprung up or down, difficult to achieve but once set, lock it in).  So, the SME IV can achieve great results but is more difficult to use than some of the other arms mentioned.  I thought I would replace it someday with a Tri-Planar which is more easily adjustable but a friend told me that VTA is more critical for big differences such as for 140 versus 200 gram records.  The SME IV doesn't appear to be so finicky for wide VTA differences, or am I just missing some of the music/can't tell? 

 I still use an Ultracraft AC 400 for my 78s on a VPI 19-4 but I like the sound of my SME better (especially the bass) and ease of use.  

Dear @vinny55 : Wrong again. If you read each of my posts to you ( to you. ) in no one I said you are stupid instead you did it at least twice as an insult to me.

What I stated is that your thread statements " makes/has no sense ". and I was the only person whom before that " no sense " post ask to you to disclose your audio system for any one of us can give you an advise about. All those advices you received here " makes " no sense " either !

Where am I insulting you as you did it with me? .

I mentioned the overall " stupid " meaning for some one way different from you because as I said and for what you showed here and your other threads you are not a stupid person but some one that need to learn a little on those audio subjects.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
