| Say it aint so--- Teres quality question Thanks for the nice comments. But I think it may be best for me to just stay out of this now. I'm sure you all can come to your own conclusions just fine.Pat, I agree that it is in everyone's best interest for an audio manufacturer to have good QC... | |
| Say it aint so--- Teres quality question David, sorry for not mentioning your name in the group with actual experience with the Teres tables. I was just responding specifically to Pat's post. I don't mean to create problems here, and perhaps it would just be better if I exit out of this ... | |
| Say it aint so--- Teres quality question Pat, I have no problem with any of your statements, since they come from a personal experience with the table. I simply take issue with others' statements which seem to stem from some sort of "theory" which is not borne out from actual use of the ... | |
| Say it aint so--- Teres quality question As far as the Teres tables not being stable, I live in a log cabin in East Tennessee, and I am currently sitting in my living room, where it is currently about 48 degrees INDOORS. I have a coat on. I am often out for nights and weekends and don't ... | |
| Say it aint so--- Teres quality question Well, I guess I had better weigh in here. I have been touting the Teres tables for quite a while now. Mine was very good in all respects, and was bought almost 2 years ago. Whether anything has happened to the QC since then, I don't know. Anyhow, ... | |
| Tube Equipment: Gimmick? I agree alot with what Jim2 is saying. I think that much of what people perceive as "tube sound" is really "output transformer sound", since it is the output transformers that are generally creating the rolloff and bloat that some people mistake f... | |
| Speakers: What's MOST important to you?... I tend to agree with the posters above who stated that musicality, or drawing them into the music, or forgetting that there are any speakers playing. Those are the most important things, IMO. Those are what listeners are wanting.The other attribut... | |
| Clueless and Seeking advice on TT purchase Hi Craig.I think you might want to consider getting a Teres bearing, platter, and motor w/controller, and DIY'ing a base to your liking. Teres sells the items like this for DIY use. They originally came this way before Chris decided to make comple... | |
| Rega Owners...which after-market counter weight? I've also tried the Heavyweight and found it to be a good improvement over the stock weight.I have not tried the new Michell Technoweight personally, but I have gotten a few emails from some other people who liked it alot. It has a micro-adjuster ... | |
| Unheralded masterpieces revisited? I always liked the Bridge of Sighs album too. | |
| Which Of These Three Amp Stands ? In response to my name being mentioned along with the Sistrum platforms, I'd like to mention that the Sistrum SP-101 platform was given the Stand/Platform Technology Award for this year by Positive Feedback Online Audio Magazine. Check out the cur... | |
| Audiogon, Teres, OL Silver, Shelter, MU et al. Hi KK,Here is a link to the Audiopoints 1.5 AP1D web page.http://www.audiopoints.com/15ap1d.htmlThis size Audiopoint allows using them without removing the original BDR cones, if you desire. They are slightly taller than the BDR, so they just rais... | |
| Clamp for Rega Planar 2? Clamps are not recommmended for Rega turntables. Their platters and mats are not the correct materials to utilize clamps. You'll get better sound without one.If you want to spend some money on your Rega, try one of the dropped counterweights like ... | |
| Teres update Hi Joe, it407 is a nice arm. I would prefer non-removable headshell, since typical removeable headshells like that one generally make colorations at 1kHz or thereabouts. It is like a FR66 which was very good in it's time. I think some new arms may... |
