Who has heard & compared the good tables?

Many Audiogoners will espouse their own rig - and that's understandable. But who actually has heard well setup and equipped tables like the higher-end Teres, Basis, Linn, Well Tempered and others - and compared them? Without bias?

Please tell us what table really stands out; your words could mean a lot to many of us!

Best,
George

Yeah, I've got the lead-loaded acrylic platter (there is a picture of it posted on Audiogon - check out my system). I don't doubt the wood platter is better, but it was out of my price range when I upgraded my analog front end, as I upgraded the table, arm, cart and phono stage all at once.

I'm up for trying the Koetsu on the Teres - It would be interesting to hear it compared to the Shelter.

Albert, I'll check in with you in a couple of weeks.

Albert,

I don't have obligations on Tuesday nights for the next few months. Perhaps we can schedule time for me to bring my Teres 255 down early, verify the set up, and give the crowd a show on your home turf. It's been a while since I've heard the Megalines anways. It's not the top-o-the-line Teres, but it may help provide perspective for bang-for-the-buck:
