Zaikesman's Username Pronunciation Field Guide
A rose by any other name.....well, you know.Like Wojciehowicz on Barney Miller, mine is pronounced just like it's spelled.Anyway, there are four members in my nuclear (pronounced NOOK-lee-er) family and we are all New York Yankee fans (shielding m... 
CES 2004 Best of Show
The mention of th eJoule/Joseph room was of interest to me because several folks last year thought the Herron/Joseph room was their favorite. Anyone hear the Herron room? Were they paired with Joseph again? 
Say it aint so--- Teres quality question
Speaking of both cocobolo and guitars, my son recently acquired a Taylor 710LTD which has a cocobolo two-piece back. Sounds deeper in tone to his 414ce in Ovangkol and when opening the case, I get a wiff reminiscent of coffee! :-) 
New cables from Pure Note "Cerulean"
I see that you HAVE taken offense when none was intended. Apologies. Yep, I've offered recommendations of Ridge Street, but also Pure Note (even over RS for some!), Acoustic Zen, Stealth, Harmonic Tech, Sonoran, Nordost, Zu, and Cardas as individu... 
which type of sink for record washing
Ttrhp, not a stupid question - the label would be damaged or ruined if not protected. You will notice through a careful reading that most people in this thread are referring to use of a Groovmaster. It is made of two acrylic discs, each with an o-... 
New cables from Pure Note "Cerulean"
Sonic, are you are cable manufacturer, dealer, or in any other way associated with a cable company? No offense, it is just hat the only time I ever see you post is with respect to cables the majority of them are regarding Pure Note. Just curious.

How much are the shipping crates? $5K? :-) 
which type of sink for record washing
Metal will result in a ringing resonance that will infect your records...Above all, make sure the sink has a drain hole of sufficient diameter to accommodate a CD-eating disposal. 
DIY Dust Cover for Teres or Other Audio Equipments
Looks exactly like the one I built, except I didn't use the pressed pattern trim on mine, opting instead for plain corner round which I stained. I used the next size up in acrylic thickness (just over 1/4") and while it is extremely solid, it is a... 
Say it aint so--- Teres quality question
Joe, Intarsia for the Teres! Hmmm. I recall doing a lot of that at one time including a project for a woman who wanted clusters of grapes, vines, and leaves to spread out over the back stretcher of a rocking chair and then spill down the sides and... 
Say it aint so--- Teres quality question
Tom, apology accepted, both here and via e-mail. Perhaps I should have only e-mailed you but I felt I was being mentioned as having some vendetta against Teres, which is not the case, and I wanted others to know that. I feel that perhaps this was ... 
Say it aint so--- Teres quality question
OK, it would appear that only a few of us in this thread have said anything that could even be mildly interpreted as critical of a Teres table. Tom, since I have asked a question of you and you responded only by saying that you have no problems wi... 
Say it aint so--- Teres quality question
Tom:You are wearing a coat indoors? Sounds like my wife, except it is 65 degrees in our house when she wears hers! :-)My particular questions are not an attack on Teres, or anyone else, I just have reservations with respect to wood platters that h... 
Say it aint so--- Teres quality question
Let me begin by saying that my intent is not to pick at Teres in particular because all companies seem to have quality control issues at one point or another. The more important issue is whether such problems are addressed quickly and effectively.... 
Say it aint so--- Teres quality question
As a former apprentice who graduated from the expert tutelage of my master craftsman grandfather, I have had misgivings with respect to wooden platters.On the other hand, several Teres users, and the Man himself, posted at some length on this topi...
