Teres update

Dredster,

Sounds great. I am always willing to listen (don't tell my wife I said that, she wouldn't believe it for a minute!) to the advice of others who are in the know. I like the cabinet idea, and really like the base you described. can you email some pics? I have a TV cabinet from the 40's that I inherited, and had given some thought to using it as a combination stand/cabinet. It weighs a ton, and would hold everything. The only problem with it is it won't fit where I need it to go.

So, with that said, any and all who have ideas give me an email. Pics too. My site is jphii.com, and should be up sometime next week. I should have enough bandwith to showcase not only my own, but also others projects.

This could be some fun!

Dredster,

If I use the cabinet, it will have the table sitting on top, electronics inside. The inside was gutted years ago, they used it for a liquor cabinet.

BTW, Rockler is about the worst place to but from. If you ever need wood or hardware, email me and I'll get you headed in the right direction.

Doug,

I found that site about 3 weeks ago. He most definitely has some interesting things there. I think he can even make setup "easy" to understand!

I got the platter and motor stuff yesterday. I was totally unprepared for the quality of the pieces. I mean, I figured they would be of the best quality do to the way Teres owners rave about them, but HOLY S%&*$# Batman, NICE!!

The project has started, and I should have some pics up by the weekend.

All I need now is a cartridge. Still trying to decide if I shoild just spend the bucks or not for a Shelter. I mean, this all started as a way to get back to vinyl for under $2000, but at this point, there is NO POINT to getting the cheaps. Audiocubes has the Denon 103r for $241 shipped, but I can get a 901 for $1100. I know, I know, that IS a substantial difference.I figure I've got a week or 2 to make a decision.

I know the consensus opinion is go for the Shelter. One question: Koetsu Black?

I'll keep ya posted!

Tom,

Thanks for the tip. I am going to order the 103 now, and worry about the 501/901 after my next project (I'll keep it quiet 'till this one is finished).

The only reason the Koetsu came into play is ebay! I gotta stop screwing around there and stick with the program.
