Chris,
Is this audition address?
Teres Audio
80 Garden Center, Suite 10
Broomfield, CO 80020

Would you please provide the auditioning system components like speakers, amp, phono, ect...
You did a great deal of research and development. I really hope that some Technics/Panasonic engineer/vinyl lover see this thread and provide some insights on the R and D of the Technics SP series turntable. It looked like that the SP series turtables are the best of DD technology so far. After all, the sum of turntable components determines the sound. DD has decent speed stability but not platter bearing, nor platter, nor plinth. The Obsidian base complemented the Technics SP-10 MK II well. The enhancement of mid and high frequencies from the obsidian rock matched with the over damping of the SP-10 DD. Off course, the DD platter bearing was not as sturdy as BD because of little side loading. We all know now that platter bearing affect the soud too.

Nghiep, The address you listed is not where our demo room is. To schedule an audition please call or email. A short summary of the audition system is Schroder Reference, ZYX Universe, Artemus Labs PH-1 phono, DIY line stage, DIY 46 monoblocks, Edgarhorn Titans, DIY subwoofers. For details see: http://www.teresaudio.com/haven. The page is a little out of date but has most of the info.

The Platine Verdier is still here, the others have gone.

Thermio,

Not sure what you mean. The post was about Platine Verdier and Galibier, both of which are still available. What is your point?

Hmm...The thread is six years old, but crazy old Mackris lingers on.

Thom is a friend who makes a pretty good turntable. :)
