Teres still the way to go?

Thanks, Thom. I'm looking forward to seeing (and hearing) the Serac. I think that the Serac (w/ Anvil), tonearm, and recommended cartridge may be an interesting offering to me. We'll have to see if our timelines match up. I do have to say that I did love my Teres and would gladly own one again. IMHO, it was a beautiful thing to see and hear.

Tom -
Can you give us a realistic date when the Serac will be ready for sale? Please be realistic as there are many people who are waiting for it (I have been waiting for over one year). Will you be showing a prototype at the HE Show in NYC?

Hi Aronsss,

I don't want to hijack this thread, and I promise to update the Serac status in the coming week.

Having just returned from family business in Phoenix, my first task is to submit the final Serac drawings to my CNC woodworker. He is one of my few dependable suppliers (in terms of delivering on time), so I should have some reliable estimates to publish in the next 7 days.

It has not been my intention to be such a "tease" about this project, and I truly appreciate your patience.

Cheers,
Thom @ Galibier

Thom,

You are welcome to post any information in this thread you see fit. I am looking for options to weigh against a Teres 255 and the Serac is something I will consider. I like the idea of buying an analog "system" (components with proven synergy) and the Serac (w/ Anvil, arm, and appropriate cartridge) may hit my sweet spot in terms of price / performance.

Like I've mentioned before, I've loved my Teres (and also loved the reaction of my guests who first gaze upon the wood base & lead-loaded acrylic platter). It will be a difficult decision when the time comes to pull the trigger.

Any updates, Thom? Just curious.
