Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II
First I want to be clear that I am "contemplating" doing a Verus motor for the Lenco. This is not a commitment.I can see a few ways to do a Lenco/Verus. I suspect that the best approach would be to create an assembly much like what we did for the ... 
Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II
Oregon, a small correction. We are no longer producing any belt drive turntables. For more than a year now our top of the line table has been direct drive.With all of the noise about rim vs belt, direct I think that the most important point about ... 
New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option
The manual has a link for a down loadable strobe disk. Any florescent light will do the trick. Easy if you have a florescent lights in the room. Otherwise a florescent bulb in a regular lamp will also do. 
12 inch tonearms
The Morch DP-6 with a 12" armwand is very good. The 12" armwand sounds notably better than the 9".

Pauly, Your stylus drag experiment is interesting...Physics dictate that the uneven forces from stylus drag will modulate the platters speed. What can be debated is if the effect is large enough to be audible. Our ears are remarkably sensitive to ... 
New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option
Jeff, I don't know what the force is on the o-ring but it's more than a gram.We use a very simple but effective method to keep even pressure on the o-ring. The motor pod simply leans against the platter. There are two small rubber feet under the m...

Johnbrown, contact from the o-ring will cause some wear on the platter, but so do belts and strings. It seems that the amount of wear would be proportional to the size of the contact area. So the amount of wear would probably be about the same as ...

To be clear we have a no time limit full refund policy so trying out a Verus motor is a low risk proposition. We are encouraging Teres customers to keep their existing motor for a week or two so that they can do side by side comparisons.The Verus ... 
New TT ideas please
While I agree with Doug's comments I also agree that they may be a bit oversimplified. As is often the case it's all about compromise. A stretchy belt does have all of the problems that Doug points out. But the flip side is that isolation from mot... 
How to get 100 accurate azimuth?
As Doug pointed out no cartridge is 100% perfect so going to great lengths to get the cartridge body perfectly aligned is a waste of time.I my opinion the best instrument for adjusting azimuth is our ears. I find that dialing in azimuth is at leas... 
Is Direct Drive Really Better?
+++ do you think that in this moment your non-metal DD design is a better one? or do you make it in that way because looks better than an all metal one? +++Good question Raul. The short answer is that we use hardwoods primarily because of the soun... 
Anybody heard Galibier or JC Verdier turntables?
Nghiep, The address you listed is not where our demo room is. To schedule an audition please call or email. A short summary of the audition system is Schroder Reference, ZYX Universe, Artemus Labs PH-1 phono, DIY line stage, DIY 46 monoblocks, Edg... 
Is Direct Drive Really Better?
Zaikesman, I have to admit that the direct drive choice was based almost entirely on theoretical reasoning. The initial quest was to produce a better quality motor using some new techniques that I had been musing about for some time. When examinin... 
Is Direct Drive Really Better?
Those coming to Denver will get to hear the exact same table, arm and cart with belt vs. direct drive. It's a simple matter with the new prototype to switch between belt and direct drive. But I hasten to add that this still will not mean much abou... 
Anybody heard Galibier or JC Verdier turntables?
Nghiep, The new turntable that Dan_ed mentioned uses direct drive and has hardwood/brass/lead platter that will weigh about 56 pounds. The new motor is a lot more than just direct drive. It's a unique, non-cogging motor/controller topology that we...
