Teres Turntable/Soundsmith Strain Gauge System

I wanted to report on my new Teres Audio Certus 450 Turntable, Teres Audio Reference Tonearm, Soundsmith Strain Gauge Cartridge, and Soundsmith Strain Gauge 410 Phono Preamp. Chris Brady of Teres Audio installed my Teres Certus Turntable system and Soundsmith Strain Gauge Cartridge System a little over a week ago.

My 2 channel system consists of modified Aragon Palladium 1K monoblock amps, modified Onkyo PR-SC885 Pre/Pro amp, and totally rebuilt and modified Dahlquist DQ-10 speakers. Each speaker cabinet is mirror imaged with a soft dome Dynaudio tweeter and midrange driver and a Peerless open lower midrange driver and a proprietary woofer. The speaker cabinet crossovers have been totally redone as a bi-wire with Van Den Hul 12ga silverplate/Teflon wiring.

My personal taste in music is from classic rock, progressive rock to classical.

Dear Rich: Interesting that the the Teres tonearm " beats " the Schroder Reference one Rich could you share more information about your tonearm. ) and " intriguer " about those Marigo feets and ovbiously that Certus " new " Teres drive TT.

I wonder why in a TT control box those feets can/could make that so high improvement, why so " delicate " that control-box? that can change the whole TT quality performance.

Chris, do you already have an answer for this or that was only a different/unique experience in the Rich audio system?, I mean so dramatic changes, or maybe the Still Points are the " wrong " road. But anyway: why so " intense ".

Regards and enjoy the music.

Dear Lew: That you own Soundlabs is a notice to me. For years that is almost the only electrostatic speaker that I like ( well even does nt sound like other electrostatic like ML: fortunately. ).

My friend Guillermo ( he and I are on our tonearm self design. ) owns the new top of the line Soundlabs and sounds really good, highly recommended.

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.
