Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass?
Repeating a bit here but all my experience trying to get really good accurate low bass had me pretty well convinced it was impossible. Yet this experience wasn't all wasted. It resulted in a solid base of understanding from which to evaluate alter...

Replacing Maxon motor in a Teres Verus
Did yours die? I would hate to be without mine. Doubt I will ever be able to find anything better than my table. Certainly not that I could ever afford!

Replacing Maxon motor in a Teres Verus

Replacing Maxon motor in a Teres Verus
I take it you have one and have pulled it and the numbers match? Never had to open mine but that looks and sounds about right. Chris would know. Have you tried to contact him about it?Had mine a good long while http://www.theanalogdept.com/c_mille... 
$100k spent on music and $20k on the equipment or the other way around or 50/50 ?
Took me a while, and still a rough estimate, but pretty sure music to equipment comes out even if by equipment you mean..... tone arm.
