It is excellent advice, however, so follow it.By the way, the FR tonearm may be worth more than you can imagine in times to come. I have watched them skyrocket in price over the last few months.
Follow Ups:
Agreed. I'll just add that I used this phono stage for several months with a DL103, and a pair of inexpensive MMs (AT and Stanton), and thought all were good. I found that the DL103 + MF sounded best with a 40 ohm load, via resistors and Y connectors. Since then the path for me has run pretty much parallel to Pete's advice above (although my arm and table are different), and I'm thoroughly enjoying the sound I'm getting.
I always wanted one, but if I buy another pricey tonearm, it will most likely be a Triplanar because the last FR I saw went for $1400. I figure that is the break point where I may as well go all out. Even the case for HR cartridge headshells goes for big bucks.I have a Technics EPA-500, but additional wands for it are quickly getting out of reach. Oh well, I still have toe-tapping sound. ;)
