| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Artar,I understand yr monetary concerns. I'm starting to lean towards a Teres 255 to save a few dollars elsewhere. Since the main difference in the tables is in the wood and you need a phono pre I totally understand your decision. It's hard to dec... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path My upgrade path has been sporadic with what cash I can scrounge up to spare. I was only able to get the Sonic Frontiers through the largesse of a loan from my then girlfriend who works at Microsoft. And yes, it puts out enough heat that I have dec... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Artar,I didn't mean that Michael Green no longer makes racks, just that he no longers makes the particular model that I own. He makes heavier "clamp" racks, where you can screw the shelves down onto a component. I guess putting cones inbetween. He... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Artar, I just bought a Grand Prix amp stand for my "mediocre equalizer" (tube amp) and before I go set it up I just wanted to respond to yr post about Redpoint. While I like the Redpoint look, they do not post prices on their website and somehow I... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path I just wanted to mention something on the suspended vs non-suspended topic. I own an Oracle turntable and the springy floors in my apartment meant that I had to custom build a solution to isoalate the entire rack I use(Michael Green rack) from thi... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Artar, I didn't mean to imply that only money would be the deciding factor. I meant that in the case of an aesthetic tie that "value" would be the key. By value I mean a combination of performance, price and aesthetic factors. This would be determ... | |
| What tattoo to get next? I got a tattoo of a tube amp. Then I decide to replace the stock tubes with some nice Mullard gold pins. Then I replaced those with some Telefunkens. Now I got no room for those sweet Amperex Hollands that I want in there.....I guess it's laser re... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Artar,I think what's going to happen between these tables is going to come down to value. I have a feeling that I am going to end up owning a Teres when all is said and done. The Galibier is pushing the price envelope and while I am looking to get... | |
| Buy Oracle Turntables They've been great to me over email about some questions I had concerning my table. In fact I bought a new clamp from them recently and the turnaround time for sending a personal check to Canada was much faster than I anticipated. Very nice people. | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Woo hoo! This is the kickenest thread! I really dug Artar's Husserlian Foggy Mountain Breakdown vis a vis the turntable qua analog reproduction system. And twl's Q.E.D. response to those dodging the breakdown to posit the superiority of the cartri... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path ArtarI recently saw another thread here at Audiogon where there was Teres shoot-out and the platter change between the 255 and the 265 was not a large difference in sound. This has me thinking that perhaps I might go to a 255. I am unsure of the G... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Thanks Artar1! I'm getting a lot out of dovetailing my questions into this thread. Twl - Perhaps you could comment more on the Schroeder, I haven't seen much information on what can be accomplished with the various materials for the tonearm. I lik... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Doug,Thanks for muddying the waters! Kidding. Actually one of my concerns was that the Teres height adjuster would be a major plus. I am not that proficient with fiddling around with tonearms yet and while I had considered a Basis Vector (with the... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path SalectricThanks for the insight. It is most helpful. Because of my budget I would be getting the PVC platter but perhaps I could stretch. I am trying to buy a turntable that I will be happy with for a loooooooong time since I am looking at going b... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path This is one of the most interesting threads I've run across! And it's so relevant to my own TT upgrade research! I searched on Galibier since at this point I am trying to decide between the Quattro Alu and the Teres 265. When I started searching m... |
