Teres, redpoint or galibier turntable


I would like to upgrade my basis 2000 turntable.I am considering either upgrading to the basis 2200 table or trying one of the above three tables. I would also consider the new VPI aries three table. Which of the above would you recommend. I would like to keep the cost of the table only to 5000 dollars or less. Thanks for responding

not everyone has your or Al Porter's 'cost no object' approach

I'm sure it's well worth it
but about a 6 to 1 cost increase

all three tables are top notch

I own a Galibier
the wait is well worth it - mine was 5 months

Thom Mackris is a gem and a great guy to work with
and may pipe in here although he's a very busy man

don't expect a production line of Seracs anytime soon
but $5k for a gavia is a steal in the performance level it will take your analog setup to

do a search on galibier here and at vinyl asylum
and look at flyingred's comments
he demo'd teres and galibier
and was very insightful in my decision
dealing with Thom is a true joy
his build quality is second to none

I don't understand Teres' use of wood for tables
but they make premier gear

I couldn't be happier with my gavia

fly up to Denver and visit both Teres and Galibier and hear it for yourself
THom even reimburses money towards airfare
