Just got my new Teres turntable today.
Tw1, you will LOVE the sound of the Teres. It is indisputably the best value in high-end TTs IMHO. I can't think of any other table I'd rather own right now. 
Musical Healing
Insofar as mood is concerned, nothing cheers me up and revitalizes me like a healthy dose of Bob Marley. Ya Mon! 
What are some great tonearm cables for SME IV.Vi
VdH D 501 Silver Hybrid. A sleeper - needs a healthy break-in period, though. 
i finally hit the "G" spot on my T/T
retrofitable device that allows for "on the fly" VTA adjustment. I'm not sure if it is available yet, but given how well the arms are engineered it's probably pretty damn cool. 
What about the Teres Turntable?
I think it's pretty safe to say that the Teres competes very well with similarly-priced offerings from VPI, Clearaudio, Basis, etc. -- perhaps even with those at a higher price point, but I've done no extensive comparisons myself. >10K? Unlikel... 
Turntable help Please
I'm not familiar with that table, but recently cleaned up/refurbished a few old Pioneers for friends (PL-12D, PL-15DII), and they're damn decent entry-level stuff. If you're easing back into the hobby, you might want to just clean it up and use if... 
What about the Teres Turntable?
I settled on the Teres after hearing one locally. It is loosely based on the Scheu, and is an outstanding value for the money. I went for the lead-damped Cocobolo wood base, but I think it is offered at a variety of price points, with an upgrade p... 
Wynton Marsalis recommendations
Despite it being an earlier digital recording, "Black Codes from the Underground" is one I return to again and again. "Standard Time Vol. 1" is also a good one, as is "Live from Blues Alley" (I believe that title is correct). Also check out "Trio ... 
Audio Electronics Supply PH-1
Even before the recent "Listener" review, I was leaning towards giving the Wright PP100C a listen @ $750 list. As I understand it, the AES is based on the original phono stage design from the RCA "receiving manual" from who-knows-how-many-years-ag... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
1. '98 Chevy S10 SS2. '63 Chevy Deuce 2dr custom street rod (355/700R4/10 bolt posi, blah blah) In process of completion. Hey Patrick, I finally found a good body man!3. '62 Bel Air "bubble top" coupe customized out the wazoo! 
Suitable pre-phono for Benz cart
The Benz/Lukaschek (sp?) PP-1 is mentioned in another thread. It is a great match with the Benz line, with a list of about $1300 (I think). I listened to one via a Glider a few weeks ago and found it thoroughly enjoyable. 
Step Up or Step Down?
Stevens and Billington TX-103s Do a search on the Vinyl Asylum for more info. They don't come in a shiny case (no offense -- sold "raw"), but are reportedly VERY VERY good, and a steal at the price. I have a pair on order to check 'em out.
