Thanks, Jyprez. I've been meaning to drop in or give them a call.

Jyprez, my so-called "business" argument (for a TT!) was pretty warped itself. Of course it wasn't quite fair to Teres. They'd replace a bad platter for free, maybe even with an acrylic one! You wouldn't have to travel far to hear mine. You're in ... 
VTA - High, Low, Where You go?
Risch's article is great, but don't forget his P.S.:"... must be getting old! I went over my old notes on SRA single adjust set it and leave it angle, it is 2 degree foward, not 1 degree. The memory ain't what it used to be. Sorry for any inconven... 
Advice wanted on mid range setup
Rlips, if my relatively recent experience can help, please let me know. You seem to have a good handle on both your likes and your process.

Jyprez, nice coup! Who's your dealer? I'm also in central CT. (Don't worry, I won't compete with you. We do classical.)

Jyprez,Will a wood platter last forever? Nobody knows, yet buying decisions have to be made. Let's review what we do know. NO ONE who's heard a top level Teres has ever claimed they've heard a better table, short of a Walker. MANY who've heard a t...

OK to play 78s with elliptical stylus?
Aceto, cocobolo is poisonous???? I've been kissing my Teres goodnight for a month. Arggh!!!!!!!

Jrd351 and Jjmali,The man heard what he heard. If he listens to my sytem he'll hear it again. It doesn't take half an hour to hear the superiority of a good analog rig, half a minute might be enough. As to the choice of music auditioned, who are w...

If you have limited funds, you might do better putting all your capital into the TT/arm/cartridge rather than buying a lower quality source + a cleaning machine. Records can be washed pretty effectively by hand and the tools cost far less than a m...

Dan_ed, It's hard to believe it until you hear it. Heck, it's hard to believe it after you hear it, I'm still in rapturous shock nearly every time I spin a record. If my 265 turns into a 60 lb. potato chip in ten years, they'll be the best musical...

Pbb, we're all still in shock. If you've always had a TT shame on us for not noticing. :)Obviously one way to find out if you have enough gain is just to hook it all up and listen. Theoretically a .47mv cartridge will need at least 80dB of gain to...

In addition to the 4-way (or maybe 6-way?) grain variation, Teres saturates each piece of wood in an epoxy bath before assembling them. The W.E.S.T. process Tom referred to. I'd love to watch them make these too. 
FM Reception question, please
101charley, you might visit www.titantv.com or www.antennaweb.org. Their interactive antenna selection guides let you find a good antenna for any street address in the USA, and even for different mounting locations at that address. Since the entir...

David, You can try your Illustrious on a 265 any time you like. Do you still have my address? :)Hmmm, you want one Teres 265 owner to convince another to dilute the market by selling his cheap. Now where did I put that Eco 101 text? Oh what the he...
