| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Doug,The bass, midrange, and treble controls were on the back of the speakers! Now that's amazing!The sound was not as bad as I have painted it, and it wasn't overly warm either.By the way, Bob lives in Washington so the Sound Room would be a litt... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Doug,>>Now you have to work out ROFLMAO.<<Hmmmm Wait a minute I think I have it no wait Hmmmm Dont tell me: its how a dyslexic spells Alfa Romeo? >>Well, that's probably the 25-year-old cart and 10-year-old suspension. It was... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Jphii,Wow! Wow! Wow! What else can I say? You have done a fantastic job! And you make it sound so easy, which of course it is not. You have much to be proud of, and your turntable is just gorgeous! Congratulations! Thanks for sharing.>>The q... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Letch,I wouldnt imagine that theres a large difference in sonic quality between the platters used on the Teres 255 versus the one used on the 265, but you will need to ask Doug for more information. I think its more a matter of aesthetics than ... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Hey Doug,What does ROFL mean? Is it like ROTC?I think its fairly obvious that Twl is very knowledgeable, but I dont know how he came by that knowledge. Some amateurs are quite talented. Maybe Twl is one of them. But apparently he is not an ama... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Twl, You know, I do enjoy the process, but I also see the journey as part of the hobby of analog reproduction. Spinning vinyl is not only rewarding in its own right, but it carries with it greater involvement on the part of the audiophile, from th... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Dan_ed,Its always a good idea to be nice to your wife. Luda asked what I wanted for my birthday, which is fast approaching. I said, Hows about a contribution to my turntable savings account? She said, Will five or six hundred do?" Why certain... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Salectric,It's great to hear about your platter upgrade! Let us know how it sounds. I think we're all eager to hear.Artar1 | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Jphii,Because you built your Teres from scratch, it might be useful for some of us if you were to describe the process for us and to comment on the overall quality of the turntable, if you wouldn't mind. I think that would be very instructive and ... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Raul, Thanks for your kind thoughts and observations. The cartridge is very important, as you have pointed out. I also think that balancing the system, as Twl has suggested, is also important. For me, which I believe it was your suggestion, I will... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Salectric (Dave),You have made some very useful and valuable points. Thanks for sharing your experiences. You have made many compelling observations in favor of the Galibier ALU, which seem irrefutable. But I would like to explore several points i... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Twl, I suspected that the lead-loaded acrylic platter was the start of diminishing returns from a sonic perspective when one goes from the Teres 245 to the Teres 255. The two platters may be difficult to tell apart for the average listener in a sh... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Im back from shopping at Holister, Co. and Abercrombie and Fitch. My daughter made out like a bandit: over two hundred dollars in ten minutes, half of which she paid! Not bad I say. And she is so happy about her new winter coat. (There is life, I... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path I am very encouraged by the number and by the quality of posts being made here. It tells me there is a very genuine, and perhaps spreading, interest in all things vinyl. Just look at the number of very fine quality turntables and tonearms availabl... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Part Two: Progress indeed! No sooner did I get my short list down to two finalists, an urge to find the best price/performance combination took control, and the VPI turntable, once eliminated, found itself back in the lineup. Then I read a review ... |
