catridge match with Morch DP-6
You should consider the Origin live silver arm with the shelter 501 combo, best value for the money. It uses the same armboard as the Rega. This combo is hard to beat period. The Origin live silver arm with the shelter 501 is good enough to be use...

Help Please: What Cartridge?
I will not make any comments at this time about DD turntables and MM cartridges. I will say if you have not heard the magic of a low output mc you do not understand my point. Get yourself a Shelter 501 MKII for your VPI MK IV, which you are upgrad... 
Sound loss/ windows?
You don't want any glass on the sides of your listening room between you and your speakers, because of the nearfeild reflections. If you must have windows on the sides, then cover them with heavy drapes. If you can build your walls out of drywall ...

yes, the sidewinder is a great Blue Note classic. 
Why does this circa '75 receiver sound so good?
Adrhld,you should consider the Musical fidelity A3CR amp and pre amp. I had a late 70's Canadian made pre and power amp that would kill any mid fi Japanese amp of the same time peroid. I recently upgraded to the Musical fidelity A3CR amp and it is...
