I want to upgrade my TT for about $2K.

I am finally upgrading my TT and have about $2K to put towards it.
My first choice is the Teres model 150 with the battery power option. I have an RB300 and am picking up the Incognito rewire for it anticipating that I will get the Teres.
My friend however thinks I should look around for other used options for the $2K.

Any other ideas?

Associated gear:
Audiomat Arpege
Audiomat Phono 1
Shelter 501 mkII
Reference 3a MM deCapo i's

Thanks

I'm a very happy Teres owner, but you might also consider a Nottingham Spacedeck in that range, assuming a Rega can be easily fitted to it. Someone here or on VA will know.

If you can find $2250 the Teres 160 is a big step up from the 150.

You should also give serious consideration to the VPI Scoutmaster, which has a retail price of $2400. The Scoutmaster's tonearm (the JMW 9), which is included in the price, is far superior to the Rega RB300. While I certainly have a high regard for the Nottingham Spacedeck, I still think the Scoutmaster represents a better value.

I mean in comparison to the Scoutmaster.
