Teres Composite Platter, etc.

I met Chris B at RMAF, where he was demoing the 260 table with the composite platter. It sounded great, although hard to isolate it from the rest of the audio chain. If I understood correctly though, he did tell me that he was not making any more of the platters and all the ones he has already have bases, so there doesn't seem to be an upgrade path available. I have the 255 myself and was similarly curious.

Outlier,

I believe you mis-heard, probably due to all that annoying music that kept interupting conversations at RMAF.

What Teres has stopped making are acrylic, acrylic/lead and wood platters, except (perhaps) for the 4xx series Certus models.

The composite platter is not only still available, it's the ONLY platter that's still available, at least for the 2xx and 3xx series belt/rim drive tables.

IOW, I believe you could upgrade if you wished. CB could confirm of course.

I have the Teres 340 w/ wooden platter. Going to the Verus motor was a huge improvement. I would not be able to listen w/o the Verus Motor anymore.

Chris, does this mean that Chris B is still offering the 300 series base?

When in doubt, give Chris B a call. You never know what he has in stock. There's always a chance one remaining new item, a demo, a return for upgrade, etc.
