Denver TT Shootout?

I attended and there was alot of great vinyl being played. Although I am not aware of the TT shootout actually taking place there was plenty of opportunity to here both Teres and Galibier turntables although in different systems. In these environments it is virtually impossible to pass judgement on comparisons but the Teres and Galibier tables sounded exceptional in the systems they were in. I am sure that there are some slight differences in sound between them but it seems that they both excell at what they do and it really comes down to personal preference. I have a Redpoint Testa Rosa which is an early variation of the Galibier. It is an outstanding TT but I could see that the Teres would be very good as well. I had a chance to hear the Schroeder reference on each and based on the sound and concept of no bearing I have decided to bite the bullet and order one for myself. Oh well you only live once!

Dmailer, I don't have experience with the Reference on anything other than the Garrard 501, but I expect you will be very happy.

Dmailer,
Please post your impressions when you get the new arm. Hopefully, I can get a chance to hear any/all of these tables sometime soon. From all the fascinating posts regarding the Reference arm, it certainly has piqued my interest. Cheers,
Spencer

Spencer, I will be glad to post my feedback once I get the Schroeder arm. Unfortunately it will be another 3 months before it should arrive.
