Whats the best $1500 tonearm for a Teres

Thanks for the informative answers
FWIW, my question was spawned from my experience with an upgrade from an MMF-7 to a Scoutmaster. I had a Goldring Elite cart which had performed very good on the 7. However when I put it on the SM, I was very disappointed. My upgrade was not an upgrade. Though it had a lot more weight and authority, the tonal qualities were quite bad. I finally came to the conclusion that there was an incompatibility. Changing to a Dyna 20xl made a big difference. The Benz is much better still. But I never knew whether it was an arm or table incompatibility

Dear Artemus_5: As Doug point out ( he is an owner ) you don't have any problem with almost any tonearm to mate with your Teres.

I'm not a " fanatic " of unipivots but the Moerch is a good design that give you the opportunity to try different cartridges due that you can choose different Morch arm wands, of course that if you don't think to change your cartridge in the short time then that Moerch " future " could be not so important.

Doug point out too something like to choose a " user friendly " tonearm and I have to add especialy on cartridge set-up, from this point of view this alternative seems very good for you:

I've a Teres 255 and used to use an Origin Live Silver (with hi-fi mod) with Shelter 501mk2 and Denon DL103. I changed to an Airtech MG-1 air-bearing tonearm which I believe is about $700 or so now, with the air pump. In my opinion it's better in every way than the OL Silver. I've since moved up to a ZYX Universe S-SB cartridge and am very happy. I think this air-tech might be a giant-killer, but I defer to folks who may have compared it to other tonearms, as my experience is so limited there. It may be one of those times you don't have to spend serious $$ to get great results. I've no association with Airtech - just a happy camper customer. I've had the tonearm for about three or four years now.

Artemus_5,

For clarity, did you move the tonearm from your MMF-7 to the Scoutmaster? Or did you use the Goldring Elite on a VPI JMW arm? Curious as to why you had that problem...

Doug
I moved the Goldring over to the JMW-9 which comes with the Scoutmaster. It was a terrible match which surprised me since, according to specs it should have worked nicely. That is what made me wonder if it was a mismatch in the table and cart rather than the cart and arm.
