| Just got my new Teres turntable today. Albert, thanks for your valuable input. I will be sure to post my results, so all may benefit. I agree that any analog holdouts should consider this turntable. Remember, this is a worldwide cooperative effort by DIY audiophiles who are very seriou... | |
| Just got my new Teres turntable today. Btw, Sean, the Teres DC motor has a speed regulator which operates off an optical sensor and a strobe pattern printed on the bottom of the platter. Any variations are damped by the high mass platter. The factory listening tests showed the Battery ... | |
| Just got my new Teres turntable today. Sean, Teres offers a complete battery power option for their standard DC motor. It consists of a sealed lead acid type battery, a charging controller, and a cut-out that disconnects the charger during playback.Regarding the DL103, we'll have to wa... | |
| When is the golden age of high-end audio? Slawney, I have found that the "golden age" can be continually transmuted to the present, by seeking further knowledge and truth, and implementing those into your audio philosophy. While I once would have chosen some past era as the golden age, I ... | |
| Need cartridge suggestions for Spacearm carbon Well, I don't know what the mass of your tonearm is, but if it's carbon it may be a medium to low mass arm. This may put it out of the category for the Myrtle. The compliance of 15 is not terribly low and should not be much of a challenge to most ... | |
| Hardcore SS pre/amp turn Tube fan................. I was a big SS fan and still like SS for some applications. However, when I want to get the best sound possible, I use tube gear. I have had Naim Audio preamps and amps in the past and really loved them for their sound and their ease of use. I sti... | |
| Speaker Impedance, Tenor OTLs, and Watt Puppies You must consider the damping factor when matching OTLs with speaker loads. I do not know what the output impedance of the Tenors is, but low output impedance is generally not the strong suit of OTLs. If you get low impedance speakers, or ones tha... | |
| turntable madness What do you mean by inexpensive? IMHO, if you want the cheapest good turntable, get a Connoisseur(Sugden) BD2A. It will cost between $50-$150 plus cartridge. Next up the ladder is a Rega Planar 2. About $200-$300 plus cartridge. Another good table... | |
| Amps get all the thunder, what about preamps? The MFA and Counterpoint preamps are some of the best ones ever made. Especially if you use the phono section. The rare Counterpoint SA-9 is probably the best dedicated phono amp ever made, although it is very expensive and very few made. MFA had ... | |
| Phono Amp Recommendations From the research I have been able to do, it seems as if the phono sections in many used preamps are superior the the current outboard mid-priced variety. The used MFA Magus, early Audible Illusions, Counterpoint, and Audio Research preamps all of... | |

| What about the Teres Turntable? http://www.rauna.com/cantus.html Sure Chris,this is the link. It is a very simple design, but it looks to have all the right ideas. They claim it is as good as any linear arm made, as long as it is set up correctly. I have emailed them in Sweden t... | |
| Smallest tube system for bed room The best thing you could do is get a David Berning MicroZOTL. It is a OTL Tube amp that is designed for bedrooms or office applications. It has a volume control, so you don't need a preamp, but it has only one set of inputs. It has a headphone jac... | |
| Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century? Ok, Bishopwill, I'll give you the deep organ part of the argument against single drivers. But, the high end is not rolled off on good single driver speakers. Many times a high end rolloff on these is actually the characteristic of the SET amps tha... | |
| Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century? Bishopwill, I humbly and completely disagree with your point of view about not hearing what the composer intended. The same could be said about any speaker, whether it be 1 way or 6 way. If I said that a multi-way speaker did not produce the 16Hz ... |
