New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option
+++ Now why would I take your comment the wrong way +++Perhaps because you react to my posts without giving it proper thought? My statement was not meant in any derogatory fashion, and I am somewhat perplexed at unkind your response. But I choose ... 
New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option
Dan. I guess my response would be two fold. First, I don't need to hop on a plane to meet good people. I happen to know many that stay within ten minutes drive from me.Second, my manufacturer of choice allows me to evaluate the product of my choic... 
New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option
Hi CelloI have no idea what the wait period is, but I have read one post were a gent stated he waited almost 12 months. I do not know what the background is pertaining to that particular transaction, and concur that it could be an anomaly and not ... 
New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option
I must agree with Willster (to some extent)While Teres has by far the most liberal return policy I have seen, the long delay in largely negates it. Had I the opportunity to audition, I would considered Teres when I replaced my table earlier this y... 
Has anyone heard the Welborne Labs Terraplane 300B
Hi Mark, I have not heard the terraplane but you may do a search on audioasylum's general forum for Welborne labs before you send any money. RegardsPaul 
Using Japan 100V Accuphase amp in US 120V. Safe?
Unsafe, and I believe you should expose the sellers ID to the community. Not somebody we should wnt to deal with.RegardsPaul 
Bypassing big electrolytic de-coupling caps
+++ Their [electrolytics] ability to hold a large charge is much more important than their sound quality. +++Rwwear, firstly, thanks for the response but I have to strongly disagree with that statement. Ability to hold charge is largely irrelevant...

I think I'll go for the single Mundorf per side and see what it sounds like. Should be significantly better than the current polypropylenes.Ralph, I am on the same page as you regarding TFTF V-Caps. However, for the sizes I require, they are just ... 
Soldering 101 for Audiophiles
Get a nice soldering iron also. Spending $150 on a Weller would be well worth it considering how much easier it is to use than an el-cheapo and the cost of your speakers.RegardsPaul

John/Rushton, how can a non threaded clamp be as effective as a threaded one?I have a warped 200gram LP that requires a LOT of pressure to clamp down. With a regular clamp I would probably damage the bearing trying to get the LPs= flat.RegardsPaul 
New TT ideas please
Dan, my understanding of plinth is the non suspended 'chassis'. My apologies if I used the term incorrectly.I do not slate non suspended tables. Suspension plays a very small part in my choice of table. It is all down to implementation. My posts w... 
New TT ideas please
Doug This may a double post – I cannot see my prior response.+++ Sorry for not explaining the Newton reference in my usual mind-numbing detail.+++Actually you offered zero explanation and you still don't.+++ It resulted from the suspension allowin... 
New TT ideas please
+++ How does my suspension do all these things? By obeying Newton's Third Law of Motion. +++With all due respect Doug, your response is no more than a cop out. The type of one liner I'd expect in a Micheal Moore documentary.Newtons third law state... 
New TT ideas please
Woah there Doug. +++ [Avoid ] suspended tables (unless very expensive); they sap speed and bass energy, soften dynamics and raise the noise floor by feeding false (non-musical) energy back into the cartridge +++How does my suspension do all these ... 
VTL ST-85 vs. VTL ST-150 or rather EL34 vs 6550
