Who will survive? One last table til I die.
Uggh, this is suppose to be an analog thread, but I just can't resist countering Rauls outrageous tube amplifier comments. I have designed, built and modified a number of amplifiers, both tube and solid state. So my comments are based on actual li... 
$800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path
Artarl,Finishing a Teres hardwood base really does take only a few hours. Of course the whole process takes a few days because you need to let the finish dry between coats of tung oil. But each coat only takes 10-15 minutes and the initial sanding... 
CD v.s LP - When comming from the same MASTER
In my experience LPs from a digital masters are usually notably better sounding than the CD. There are exceptions like Nora Jones first release where the LP sounds no better than the CD. I have a great sounding Phillips classical CD where I found ... 
$800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path
I applaud TWL's excellent treatise on the relative importance of a turntable. His logical approach is compelling.In my experience the turntable is the most critical part of an analog setup followed by the tonearm and then the cartridge. This has b... 
New Teres 360
Sorry for not responding. I have been slammed with getting ready for RMAF. Can't say much now other than that TWL is on the mark. More details after the show....Chris 
Has anyone had experience with the Schroeder Arm
Raul,I was with Cello and Doug when we compared the Schroder and completely agree with what Doug said. Yup, all of us that were there could be full of it. But how could you possibly know? You were not there. You have no idea of what we did or did ... 
Is the Teres a
Thom,An after hours comparison at the fest sounds like a great idea. We could do a good comparison by moving the same arm and cartridge from table to table. Easy for us since we both have armboards for a Schroder. I could also bring some armboards... 
Is the Teres a
Doug, Joe, Larry, Thanks for the kind words. It's certainly a nicer and more honest ego boost than any review from some mag. Teres Audio is a for profit business, but my primary motivator for running the business is rewarding interactions with cus... 
Is the Teres a
George,I don't think that Teres turntables and the Supreme should be considered similar designs. They both have DC motors, but very different controllers and even different Maxon motors. The bearings have some shared concepts but they diverge in b... 
Spindle oil
Sean,What causes variation in stylus drag is groove modulation. Loud passages create more drag. This will be the case regardless of how well the stylus is centered.Viscous damping is a successful, widely used technique, not a Band aid". 
Spindle oil
Sean,I think that you missed the point about viscous damping. The intent is to compensate for stylus drag. The drag from a stylus is highly variable exerting a very small but non-uniform braking force. The theory behind viscous damping is that app... 
Arm Upgrade to Morch?
The mounting hole for the Morch is smaller, 13/16" vs 1".However, if you opt for the Teres VTA adapter then youcan use the same armboard and get on-the-fly VTA to boot. 
battery power for origin live DC motor?
I don't think that battery power will help with yourspeed calibration problem. Any speed control that doesnot incorporate some type of feedback will be subject tospeed drift. I found that that with a high quality regulatorcircuit it was difficult ... 
Teres 340, anyone heard / seen one in the flesh
We have been calling Cello's two arm 340 a 345 but that isnot the official name. Rather than a new model number theofficial designation will be 340-2. Since a number of Teresmodels are now available with two tonearms the namingconvention needed to... 
teres battery option with gyrodec SE
The Teres battery option may or may not work with a Gyrodec. If the motor is rated at 24v but runs at a lower voltage then it may work. The Teres motor is rated at 36v but runs at less than 6v during operation. To determine suitablility the motor ...
