I own a zyx airy 1000 on a conqueror mk 2 arm. Arthur Salvatore said that the zyx is very sensitive to VTA and VTF. I USE A VTAF from Pete Riggle , vta on the wind,and it is very useful when you listen to a modern flimsy record and then a speakers corner one.
I need a fitting/appropriate tonearm for my Teres 340
I have a Teres 340 with an Origin Live Illustrious 3 tonearm. This was to be a "temporary" arm til I could do better. But hey, It sounds pretty darn good. Though it sounds good as is, I think the TT deserves a better arm than the OL Illustrious. Maybe I'm being snobbish. Wifey says it sounds great. Leave it alone. But My heart says the Teres needs a better mate I have a Benz Ebony L cartridge. I've consideried the OL Conquerer which is a step up. But It has no azimuth adjustment. The Reed is an interesting arm which has my attention. The 2 P has azimuth adj. But the 2 A doesn't. There are several Reeds on the market. Would rather have the 3 series. But the 2 is a stretch at this point. Any reed owners that would recommend it over others in the price range? Is the Reed a good match for the Teres 340. Unfortunately I have a limited budget and these seem to be withing the budget. I've seen a few SME V but I'm not sure they are a right fit.. Haven't seen a TriPlanar in some time. Still not sure its the right fit either. Then there is the Pete Riggle arm which may be good but the looks are not that good IMO.. Thoughts?
