Rega P-25 Tweeks .........What works for you ???
Expressimo Heavyweight Counterweight is a good mod. Improves tracking, sounds better, cheap to buy. 
Where can I hear Teres
Dmailer, yes I agree that my styling opinion is definitely subjective to my tastes. I can also see that the Teres may not appeal to others as well. From what I have read on the Redpoint, it has all the earmarks of a fine sounding turntable, that m... 
Where can I hear Teres
Bryan, thanks for the calculations. I was sure that it was more than they were stating. Regarding the massiveness of the bearing housing, it is at the point where it is so massive already, that I really don't see why any larger is better. The Tere... 
Where can I hear Teres
Bryan, the bearing housing is not actually the mounting stub. The bearing housing is above the mounting stub, and the stub is just the connector that goes through the plinth. They are all one piece, but the upper part houses the bearing and the lo... 
"Polyamping" A Look to the Future or Fancy Fad?
Actively driving the speaker with one amp per driver, is the oldest method of electronic sound reproduction known. It started with the earliest sound systems with mono amp and single driver speaker. As such, it can hardly be considered either a "l... 
Where can I hear Teres
Ok. First the Teres is available as an assembled TT, so it is a "retail commercial product", as well as a DIY product, depending upon how you want to buy it. The Redpoint is made by some of the early Teres participants, and their intention was to ... 
No Ground on Thorens TD 145 MKII + some questions

Purist Audio Colossus speaker cables... wow
Try the Purist Audio Venustas cables. They are a new series from Purist, and are reputed to be close to Dominus, at a lower price. For a very low price, even the new Museaus cables from Purist are supposed to be very good. I just rewired my intern... 
Omega ts1 loudspeakers.....
I haven't heard the Omega speakers, but I am pretty familiar with single driver sound. I'd say in general the highs will not be rolled-off, unless your amp is doing the rolling off. But the bass will be somewhat limited in how deep it goes, and th...

SET DIY compared to Wavelength or Commercial Brand
Richard, I am really not trying to sound like a "smart-ass", but that is sort of like asking you,"If a meal is so easy to prepare, why hire a chef?"The fact is that experts can do things better than novices. If you can take a design that is known ... 
Here's one for ya Part 2
Dave, the feedback issue is based upon whatever frequency vibrations are getting through the shelf into the TT. You might try using various weights on the shelf, and see if you can find a particular weight that brings it into a zone the TT suspens... 
Here's one for ya Part 2
Dave, try relocating your TT onto a stand. This may change the nature of the vibrations that are reaching your platter. It is also possible that the TT is in a place in the room which has alot of bass excitation. Having the TT on a stand would all... 
How Do You Price to Sell Classical LPs?
I'm not sure of the value of that particular set. I can say that I have listed and sold many records on this site, and have had terrible luck with classical lps. I have listed some NM condition Mercury Living Presence Stereo and Mono, and similar ...
