Say it aint so--- Teres quality question
4yanx, I also debated about posting earlier on this thread because there is no sense beating a dead horse.I am at a loss to explain why Patrick and I got different results with the VTA adjustment range. The 265 dimensions for all of the 265 are th... 
Say it aint so--- Teres quality question
Lugnut,You correctly read the situation in that you are being taken out of the loop. But the reasons are only partially correct. Please look at this from my situation. A customer orders a turntable and after many months of frustrating and confusin... 
Say it aint so--- Teres quality question
I just got back from CES and this is my first opportunity to respond to this thread.First I should address the original question of the platter not being 100% true.. a very slight rise. I saw that commenton audioasylum and plan to contact the post... 
Suspended Basis vs Nonsuspended Teres
Hmm, an interesting thread. First I need to point out that AJ's reference to "what Teres said to one of their dealers" is bogus. Teres does not have dealers and I certainly did not say any of the things he mentions. Perhaps he confused Teres with ...

No TWL does not work for Teres but I clearly appreciate his support. Thanks Tom!About PEG. PEG only works with wet or green woods and it is not effective with the dense woods we use. Yes kiln dried wood still has some moisture, but not enough to w...

Jypres raises some good questions about wood stability. Questions that we have given a lot of thought. We have done a lot to minimize the risks but wood stability is a tricky thing. The bottom line is there will always be at least some risk no mat...

TT drive belt comparison
Sean, With a precision DC motor cogging and vibration arealmost non-existent so rigid coupling of the motor andplatter tends to deliver the best results. In general Ihave found that less compliant materials sound better.However, there is a small c... 
TERES - trially Good
I recently got some new pulleys that will accomodate a1/2" wide belt. I have been experimenting with a bunchof different drive materials, but it's still a work inprogress. In the sort term I started shipping the 265'swith the new pulley and both 1... 
Anyone using Schroeder arms? Opinions pls.
The Schroeder model 1 is the best sounding tonearm I haveheard. Yet it is difficult to describe what it sounds like.It has a few easily identified sonic flaws (loose bass,less detail). Yet the arm sounds so compelling. It's likethe difference betw... 
Wheaton Tri-Planar arms ........
The Triplanar is a great arm. Very detailed and clean.However, it can be brutally revealing. I would suggestmatching it with a cartridge more laid back than theHelicon. Something like a Benz Ruby or a Koetsu may bea better match.

How dose your plinth sound?
Bill, you pose a good question. There are some significant misconceptions about the resonant properties of different materials. Acrylic is NOT non-resonant at all. It does in fact have a significant low frequency resonance. When you tap on it ther... 
Where can I hear Teres
A few minor corrections to a good thread.The Teres bearing housing is 1.5" in diameter.The original Teres bearing used a delrin thrust plate. We switched to teflon coated brass about 18 months ago. We found that the brass sounds quite a bit better... 
Where can I hear Teres
As has been implied here Teres and Redpoint had the same roots but have evolved in very different directions. Today there is actually very little in common. The basic design of the bearing and the shape of the platter is about it. Platter material...
