Anyone still using a Teres table?


I'd be interested in hearing how you've maximized performance. I still love mine, but I haven't really tweaked anything since receiving it (as it shipped w/ a Verus motor).

Nrenter,

Since you have the Verus rim drive motor (some people prefer the original motor that Chris provided) the only upgrades I’m familiar with would be a different tonearm and/or cartridge of your liking.

There are others here on Audiogon that are much more knowledgeable about Teres turntables than myself so maybe they will offer other suggestions.

FYI: I have a Teres 340 with Verus rim drive, a Tri-Planar Arm and ZYX UNIverse Cartridge.

BTW: If you don't receive any additional suggestions you might want to contact Audiogon members dougdeacon and lewn (through Audiogon) and directly ask them for suggestions.

lak,

I've had 2 Teres tables over the years. My first was a monkeywood 255 (belt driven). I sold it back in 2006-ish during the "dark days" of grad school. I bought my current table (technically, it would be a cocobolo 245 - solid acrylic platter - w/ Verus motor) in 2008-ish. I consider it one of my prize possessions.

Other than applying copious amounts of damping to the inside of the Verus motor controller, mine's pretty much "stock". I did have the "square" o-ring installed, and have footers underneath the controller. I'd love to find a lead-loaded or solid derlin platter - tough to come by these days.

I miss the chatter about these tables.
