Yes, lovely, isn't it?

Unfortunately, they are sold out on the model from pre-production orders, and they may be available again in January. However, I'm sure they will take advance orders on the model, for the next production run.

That 340 will likely give any TT made a tight run for the money. Probably beat most quite easily. And a steal at the price.

Looks great... might sound a little woody though. Don't invite any tree huggers over!

Gorgeous! Visually, much more spouse friendly than most competitors. Gotta trust Twl in analog so if he recommends the sound, need more be said?

I don't mean to be a skeptic in any way, and I know the Teres models sound great because I've heard 'em. I plan to more closely scrutinize one that a friend now has. I have a very strong background in woodworking and the charateristics of wood. I plan to look carefully at the platter construction (don't think the plinth is as important). I have some concerns as to how the platter will hold up over, say, 10 years. Will give my opinion after I've had a chance for a thorough look see, for what that is worth.

Anyone know of other wood platters that have been around for 5 or 10 years?

David, the platter is constructed using the W.E.S.T system of epoxy resin soaking the wood, like is used in modern wood boat construction. The platter is pieced together like a puzzle, with the grains of the pieces oriented for maximum strength and minimum movement. Then it is machined after it is cured.

The stability of the platter was a big concern for Chris when he started this project. He feels it will be fine. It is a very labor intensive process, and this contributes to the higher cost of this table.

It is reported to sound awesome. I haven't heard this model.
