Teres update
Hi Joe. It looks like a nice piece of work.I'm sure it will turn out well.About arms and carts, I like the OL arms with Shelter cartridges on the Teres.

My Listening Report of 3 Single Driver Speakers
I have been using single drivers with SET amp for awhile now, and I really like it.The "Lowther Honk(or shout)" is much less with the new series of drivers that has been out for about a year or so, now. Also, it is much better after a long time of... 
can't remember his name
I have a couple of Les Dudek albums on LP, and they are pretty good. I like "Ghost Town Parade" best. Several good cuts on there. Released in 1978, it included a number of famous contributing musicians including Carmine Appice, Jeff Porcaro, Jim K... 
300B which way to go?
The lower power 300B amps with about 8 wpc are the true SET types. As you go up the power scale, some may be parafeed type amps or push pull type amps. Any of them can be very good, depending upon the design and execution of the product, and how w... 
Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long
Yes, just glue the weights to the caps for the RB250. Make sure that they are nicely centered, and also be sure that the shape of the weights you get don't interfere with the operation of the cueing lever. I found that the long tapered bullet shap... 
what cartriges for my Fidelity Research FR64FX ?
A Denon DL103R would be nice on it. Or else a Shelter cartridge, which is a descendent of the original FR cartridges, being made by one of the old FR engineers. Or a Koetsu.

Is the Rega P25 and ZYX Fuji really compatible?
They are compatible, but not logical. It rarely makes sense to spend more on the cartridge than on the TT. You can always get more sonic benefits by upgrading the TT, than by spending so much on a cartridge. 
what do you get with an arm upgrade?
If the arm is truly an upgrade, then you'll get better sound overall, with the appropriate matching cartridge. Exactly how it will sound depends on the table, arm, and cartridge used. Expect less colorations, better detail, possibly better bass or... 
SME 3012 Help
Depends on where it seems loose, and how loose.The arm tube is on knife-edge bearings, which may seem loose in their normal condition. Or there might be excessive wear or damage. Hard to tell without seeing and feeling the arm.
