Where can I hear Teres
Jyprez, I remember that post. It seems the acrylic may not take a liking to the mineral oil. And the brass plugs may not contain it. Redpoint seems to have designed their platters around the concept of them being filled with oil, hence they are se... 
Where can I hear Teres
Please don't take what I said as if I were disappointed by the Redpoint. I thought it was a nice sounding table and accompanying system. In fact, I've listened to an SME 30 with Aesthetix IO sig, Wavestream V8 tube amps, and Avalon Eidolon Diamond...

Dmailer - I agree. It is difficult to accurately assess a source component in the context of an unfamiliar system. Perhaps that is the reason why I am still so confused about the the Redpoint/Teres tables. Having read so much positive feedback on ... 
Where can I hear Teres
I was there. San Jose with the Redpoint. Sounded okay but I was a bit unfamiliar with the DIY Bottlehead system. In fact, I think most of the positive elements I heard were more a result of the 2A3 tubes than the Redpoint turntable.It would have b...

Preamp Deal of the Century
Please everyone - don't take what I wrote the wrong way. I am not against power "conditioners" or power "filters". I think they are the most elegant solution for people who need multiple outlets and do not have the luxury of multiple dedicated wal... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
I no longer use line conditioners of any type. I found that conditioners cast their signature over the entire system - even into components which do not benefit from the conditioner. Upon extensive auditioning with various power cords and conditio...

Also... This Eminents fellow is a Croft dealer! Isn't it great when dealers make claims like this in the discussion forums? see ad:http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?ampstube&1053570003&2&3&4& 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Whether it be line or phono, I've listened to Croft and I'd have to say that Eminents is exaggerating profusely.

Streetdaddy... Check out www.acousticsounds.com and you'll find some great "new" and re-release LPs. What type of music do you like?

Jazzdude, it should only take a day or two to clear customs. In my experience FedEx occasionally requires a few forms to be filled out for international delivery. Perhaps you should contact FedEx and see what's going on. Also - they have been know...

Tok20000 - you and I have talked about this so YOU know I am still on that analog high baby!! However I presume that eventually I will come down and get back into digital - in one way or another. I remember having a lot of fun with digital - messi...

Asa, He went all analog too! :) We both have 100% separate home theater systems and in cases where we need to play a CD, we just pop it into the DVD player.Analog has been such a revelation for me that I hardly have time to post to Audiogon anymor... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Hi Asa, Well... for the past several months I've been all over the map with audio. The introduction of a turntable has been very, very interesting... In fact, after owning many of the top digital players, I no longer have a CD player at all and I ... 
LP 12 Owners-If you were going to buy a new TT ...
IF I was going to buy a new TT (and I am) I would keep my LP12 for various reasons. I'm building a Teres and now that I am nearing completion (after spending about 900 bucks more than I thought I would on the base alone - DIY isn't always cheap) I...
