New Cartridge for Morch DP-6, 12", Red Dot

Thank you all for your responses.

Raul: The Thorens (a well preserved, late 70's model, that had great sound), the 3012R, and the Discovery were all trashed by the moving company. I'm not talking dented, they were destroyed; along with a Dynavector 17D Karat, a Rega P-25 and its' arm, my Levinson 37 transport, and some furniture. As a result, I am the proud owner of a Teres 265 with the DP-6 arm.

Holly: I have been thinking about a Zyx (the R-1000 Airy3-SL) with the silver base, which would make the effective mass 9gm. The silver coils "should" also match well with the Bolder Nitro pnono cable I am using.

Bob: Dynavector is also in the running. I liked the sound and loved the detail of the 17D, but it is the only Dynavector I've heard and frankly the Discovery was worth the extra cost. I'll take a look at the Moerch site for more suggestions.

Again, thanks to all.

Dave

Ptmconsulting: I looked at the Moerch site for the cartridge listing, and could not find it. Do you have a link?

Thanks again for all of your suggestions. I have a "short list" of cartridges that I am exploring. However, here in Alaska the chance to hear anything first hand requires at least a plane trip to Seattle.

The ones that I am looking at (via the internet) are the Zyx Airy R-1000 3S, Shelter 90X, and two Dynavectors, the XV-1 and the TeKaitora Rua.

Any comments on the above?
