Eurolab premier turntable.

Just spoke with Hart and got some basic pricing information on the Eurolab turntables:

Premier 1850
2001 1250

80mm platter add 400
battery pack add 100

they also have their own version using the Scheu parts called a "2008" and it comes in either aluminum or brass (very heavy); prices are substantially up at 2500 (alum) and 3900 (brass). The 2008 looks just like the 2001 but has much better construction is the word.

The Premier seems hard to beat at 1850 and the 2001 at 1650 w/80mm platter another way to go.

Hard to get past the unconditional Teres warranty; ie, if you don't like it send it back and they give you your money back. That is my understanding from the Teres site. But, the model I like (265) is substantially more expensive @ 2750 than the Premier.

Thanks for the input gentlemen. I have had the pleasure of meeting with Tom, the owner of Hudson Audio, and found him to be down to earth and extremely knowledgable. He is a 5 minute ride from me. The shop I bought most of my gear from only gives me lip service since taking my money. I guess you can't know about a place until a problem arises. Thanks for the tip Poorguy. The Premier is looking good right now.

It is a fine turntable.

A blessing from TWL! I , like most people on this site have read many of your posts. Subsequently, I respect your opinions. I know you like the Teres stuff. I guess this table is kind of similar in philosophy. Your endorsement of Eurolab is appreciated. Thanks, Tom.

Why don't you but a new Scheu Premier directly instead of helping the US dist. clear out stock he is not a dist. for anymore and probably won't give you warranty work on? You can get a Scheu table for around $1500 or so, with full warranty. Sweet looking table with other interesting options that I dont think hart can give you. Save money, get a supported product - two reasons I would go this route over the other.
