Jsonic,
I have a Teres 265 that I set up by myself. Before that I had only owned a $100 Denon record player and the Clearaudio Champion, which my dealer set up.
The Teres was very easy to put together. From a beginners standpoint, know what arm you are going to use and see if Chris Brady wont drill the holes for you. I felt very uneasy about doing it myself and would have paid an expert to have done it for me if I could have.
For setting up the cartridge go to the website for Wally Malewicz, that is "http://simplyblack.net". Click on Wallys Analog corner and download all of his instructions. Then call him up. He will let you know what minimum tools you need and will walk you through the cartridge set up, step by step. He is truely one of the Audio Goodguys.
