Teres audio DIY turntable

Hi folks,I recently became aware of the Teres audio availability of components geared towards the DIY .Specifically they offer the bearing the platter and motor with controller and housing.Anybody here bought their parts and put them together to construct a turntable? Any positive experience?Is it worth it? Or should the money be spend on a different turntable.The bearing+platter is $1425 and the motor/contoller $1690.They also offer a clamp for $90.I understand that the plinth will need to be outsourced (maybe thick maple or aluminum plate,acrylic),I don't see one available in their website.Any thoughts on this from the ones that tried it or experienced analog users will be appreciated.My other table is an Oracle Delphi mk2 with Rega RB 1000,but it is not used at the moment.
Regards
George

there are lots of sites devoted to personal teres builds, including the ones on their site which are numerous. I personally haven't heard one, but have seen the motor which is top notch. The teres TT as well as the 'cousin' company Redpoint both make highly regarded tables, so i suppose you be in a good start.
At diyaudio.com (which as far as i know is where the teres/redpoint started) i know that there is also a group buy of a platter/bearing going on, but i am not sure where it's at (Nanook was the one running it)
