The lamination process used is the same as wooden boat builders use. Cocobolo is a very dense hardwood, which is harvested from the South American Rain Forests. IMO there a better chance of the acrylic platter warping, than their wooden platters. Just beware of termites, & sparks from your fireplace. And don't be tempted to place it atop a clear acrylic sandbox, doubling as a Carpenter Ant Farm :-)~
Say it aint so--- Teres quality question
As a preface-- I have been a lurker here at Audiogon for a number of years, but have never posted.
Yesterday a review of the Teres 200 series table was posted at Audioasylum. I am extremely concerned about what was stated.
I have always read fantastic things about the Teres, but this reviewer seemed to consider some issues with regard to quality-- ie:
"Some minor issues...the wood platter is not 100% true on the horizontal surfaces...a very slight rise...I suspect this is the nature of machining wood?" as well as "Product Weakness: Platter slightly off true"
I plan on joining the Teres family -- but have developed some reluctance after reading this.
Perhaps some of the members here with first hand experience will be able to put my concern at ease with regard to the reviewers statement.
Here is a reference to the post:
