| Best set-up for up to 9k retail? Marakanetz, I didn't have a thing to do with the Teres design, nor have any relationship with the company, other than being a customer. I know it may not appear that way to some, but I assure you that I have only the best interest of the members h... | |
| Best set-up for up to 9k retail? Thanks,guys, I think Inna gets the point. BTW, the stuff I mentioned above is not even what I own. I recommended a Teres 255, OL Illustrious, Shelter 901, and Aesthetix IO. For the record, I own Teres 245, OL Silver, Shelter 501, and MFA Magus. No... | |
| Best set-up for up to 9k retail? Thank you, Carl. I'm only trying to help. | |
| What are the best DIY cables you've heard? Agonanon, I did not try thinner guages of wire, only the 30ga. I did not use silver wire because I don't have any high freq rolloff problems, and don't need any extra "zing" in my response. Silver wire always seems to be "hot" on the high freq. | |
| Best set-up for up to 9k retail? Inna. If I was constantly hawking VPI or Nottingham, that would be ok, right? Everybody else does. Look how many posts are up promoting the Aries and Scout. What's your beef with Teres? I'm the only person talking about it. You want to silence the... | |
| Best set-up for up to 9k retail? Inna. If nobody promoted what they owned here, about 90% of the traffic would stop on this site. Maybe I'm sick and tired of hearing about Audio Aero, or Audio Research, or VPI. I'm not, really, but what if I was? Wanna count up the posts, and see... | |
| Best set-up for up to 9k retail? Marakanetz, I can only relate the comparisons that I am aware of. I have not compared to SPJ LaLuce. But the Teres 255 has been compared to the Clearaudio Master Reference on 2 occasions, and has beaten that on both occasions, in the ears of the l... | |
| What are the best DIY cables you've heard? My DIY recipe is what Lugnut described above. | |
| What are the best DIY cables you've heard? Actually, a good ending point would be some Purist Dominus or Venustus. I have settled on Sonoran Plateau for the time being. They were the first affordable cable that I found that could beat my DIY. About $1400 for IC and speaker cables. That's n... | |
| What are the best DIY cables you've heard? Yes, I tried the Chris Ven Haus design. I found some things that I didn't like about it, so I did some changes based on some other ideas I had. So when I got it the way I liked it, I sent a pair to Lugnut, and also to Macrojack. They both liked th... | |
| Best set-up for up to 9k retail? That's alright Marakanetz. I understand. It is a very good deck, though. I've heard alot of decks, arms and carts. | |
| Best set-up for up to 9k retail? I'd recommend a Teres 255 with battery power option($2850), an Origin Live Illustrious tonearm($2170), and a Shelter 901 cartridge($1500).I recommend an Aesthetix IO phonostage for a setup of this kind of quality.I think that your suggested system... | |
| Antique Sound Lab....Triode???? Triode mode will give lower power output, but may give better sound quality. | |
| Cartridge suggestions for around 2K In my opinion, on that arm, the ZYX R-100 Fuji would be the best cartridge available for $2k. It is a good compliance match and has incredible sound quality. You would not be disappointed. I feel it exceeds the Lyra Helikon at the same price. | |
| A sound between the Blue Point Special & Virtuoso If you get a Shelter 501, you won't be thinking about any other cartridges, I can tell you that. If there is a cartridge under $1k that can beat it, I don't know about it. The Shelter 501 does everything right. It's just too good to believe, for u... |
