I used to design and test prototype turntables and arms at Garrard, and evaluate competing products. Pretty well all arms, regardless of price, had enough resonances to move the cartridge body enough to see additional output from the cartridge.
Some of the "worst" were the most expensive.
Of the modern arms available, based on what I learned then, the Funk FX3 looks from its design parameters to probably be the most accurate arm out there, and is not too expensive.
That said, accurate sound is not always what people like best!
