The 54 on my JVC TT-71.... Have the arm off a Denon DP-70M on the way from Japan. I'm very much looking forward to comparing it against my Fidelity Research arms (14, 24, 54 & 64S).
The Denon DP-70M was one of the higher end Denon tables and the arm is extremely well specc'd. Very similar effective length too the FR arms too at 244mm v 245mm.
Arm highlights include:
VTA adjustable on the fly up to 9mm
Dynamic Damping in the counter weight and the end of the tonearm wand
Gold plated contacts
Magnetic antiskating
Autolifting of itself at the end of records (I hope this works on another table)
If this can compare with the FR arms then they're one hell of a bargain. Either way I expect it will outperform a Jelco. I'll report my findings here, or perhaps start a new thread. Probably more appropriate
