Tonearm for Teres turntable - approx $1000 - ??
Raul - Another vote for the Morch DP-6! I'm still trying to find somewhere to purchase this tonearm on line, but... I guess I need to call Music Direct and see what the deal is (as in, why they can't sell it on line, etc.) Also, does anyone know i...

C123666 - Do you think the Belcanto is a better arm than the Bluenote Borromeo? It's certainly alot cheaper! :-) 
Micro seiki model SX111 FV
Vinyl Engine has various other Micro Seiki turntable manuals listed, but I didn't see one for the SX111 model. There is a Yahoo group devoted to Micro Seiki, however, and if you join the group perhaps you can get more information, or a link to a m... 
Tonearm for Teres turntable - approx $1000 - ??
Well, I'm still trying to make a decision - the Morch DP6 seems as if it would be a good match with the Zyx cartridge and Teres turntable (thanks for calculating the complaiance range for me, Twl!)Your description of a unipivot tonearm makes me a ... 
What is "biwiring"?
If you have a relatively resistive wire going to insensitive speakers then the best thing to do would be to give the bass driver as much help as it can get, and go for a single-wire. No point in cossetting the treble if the bass driver is having p...

I hate math!! :-) Anyway, the Zyx R100H compliance is listed as 15 x 1.6 cm/dyne (horizontal)/12 x 10.6 cm/dyne (vertical) How do I plug that into the formula (rf = 159 / sqrt ((eff. mass + cart weight + fastener weight) * (compliance)) ??? I may ...

I found this thread on Audiogon that might help you:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&984974865&openfrom&2&4#2 
What is "biwiring"?
This is probably a stupid question, but here goes anyway. I have a set of B&W CM4 speakers, and a center CMC speaker. They all have 2 sets of terminals; my dealer did not explain anything to me about "bi-wiring," he just said that "true audiop...

$800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path
Artar - Thank you for your comments about my future purchases! I have spoken (via email!) with Doug about the ZYX cartridges; he has also recommended the Denon 103R. And now I seem to have added the Shelter 501 into the mix! I will make up my mind... 
Teres Turntable Support - concrete, wood, rack...?
I have looked at the Adona racks, too - they do indeed look very nice! Hope to make up my mind about a rack sometime soon - so many choices on line, but no where local to actually see and "listen" to them.Good luck, John - if Adona fits the bill, ... 
$800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path
Dsiggia - I'm looking forward to the time - hopefully this month - when I can actually begin buying the equipment on my wish list! I'm still toying with the idea of getting the ZYX R100H cartridge, too, but know I should be practical and get the D... 
Teres Turntable Support - concrete, wood, rack...?
I had a great visit with Chris of Teres on Thursday. My search for a turntable has ended! Just for the record, he had his Teres 265 set up on a masssive wooden stand - probably about 6 inches thick with what appeared to be 4"X4" legs. Chris said t...
