I need a fitting/appropriate tonearm for my Teres 340
OK, I mounted the ZYX 4D G SB low output cartridge to my arm on Tuesday. First impression. WOW!!. The dynamics were off the chart. Actually a little too much. But, the cartridge hadn't had time to settle. Even so, the separation of instruments was...

Well, I took Rauls advice and bought a ZYX 4D G SB. Lets see what changes are brought about. My Benz Ebony L is a good cartridge. However, one reviewer replaced his Ebony L with the 4D. We'll see. I've been wanting a Zyx.

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 speake...

Interesting concept Raul. I know you are much more experienced with tonearms and cartridges than I am. I think I am satisfied with the cartridge and have felt the weak spot to be the arm...IF there is a weak spot.I did see a Zyx Airy 1000 G with S...

nrenter, Does Chris still make the tonearms? I emailed him a few months ago when I had a slight problem and he was helpful in getting it resolved.  Bearing just needed an oil change. He said he was still in business but to a much smaller scale. Th...

Wntmute & Harold, I remember when that arm 1st came out. Reviews were quite favorable. I considered one for a scoutmaster. But I don't think I could ever come to like it on my TT because it would be such a clash of design, etc.. Tables which h...

Gosh dekay. Its been a long time since I've seen you around. I didn't think Schroeder  had but one design but I'll check it out. I know Teres highly recommended the Schroeder. But used ones rarely come up for sale and the new ones are general out ...

I'm watching this thread with interest. Report this Yeah, I left the door wide open didn't I?  I should have asked if azimuth adjustment is that important? I've heard Jay @Audio Revelation say that there is a way to adjust azimuth on the OL arm... 
Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles?
Dlcockrum. IOW, just hook it up and try it? I have been concerned that it might damage my amp. Is my concern uncalled for? 
Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles?
Dlcockrum. mine makes the sound without being hooked up to anything except the power outletAlmarg, I appreciate your information. However, being and electronics illiterate, I will have to get a friend to decipher. Still, I suspect the info is good... 
Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles?
Well, I bought another Rel Storm 3 to pair with my existing one. Bought from Ebay. Got it and plugged it in, only to have a big hum coming from it. I just had it plugged into the wall when the loud buzz started immediately upon powering up. I was ... 
Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles?
Thanks to all who have responded. From the responses I would conclude that Rel is still a player in the audiophile subwoofer market. However, like all things audio, they have their adherents and their detractors. And they have a lot of competition... 
Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles?
When a driver is driven to extreme levels it can "compress" meaning it limits its own output by no longer responding to dynamics, Wolf. I thought that is probably what you meant. But I hate to assume. I've always heard that called being over dr... 
Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles?
Shadorne  I suspect REL work best with speakers that have 6 inch or smaller woofers. dlcockrum  You suspect wrong as usual shadorne. The strong positive response to REL on this thread once again obviates your delusive opinions on audio I recentl... 
Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles?
Wolf-Garcia  I never drive my RELs to compression, ... I know compression, don't like it, and won't allow my poor little RELs to partake in it. Wolf. I'm not sure what you mean by "compression"?. I understand compression as in Mp3. And as limiti...
