Teres, redpoint or galibier turntable

Redpoint and Galibier can cost mucho bucks, but both company's make killer turntables. Galibier is coming out with a new entry level TT called the Serac that sounds very promising at a very good price, but it is not ready yet.

upgrade to the 2200

I looked at all of the TT you mentioned over a 2 year period. I went with the Galibier. All are excellent tables from respected companies-peoples and you won't go wrong with what ever you choose. I did however feel the Galibier was a little cleaner and simpler in it's design approach. I mated mine with a Moerch DP6 and ZYX Airy 3. Good Luck.

all three tables are top notch

I own a Galibier
the wait is well worth it - mine was 5 months

Thom Mackris is a gem and a great guy to work with
and may pipe in here although he's a very busy man

don't expect a production line of Seracs anytime soon
but $5k for a gavia is a steal in the performance level it will take your analog setup to

do a search on galibier here and at vinyl asylum
and look at flyingred's comments
he demo'd teres and galibier
and was very insightful in my decision
dealing with Thom is a true joy
his build quality is second to none

I don't understand Teres' use of wood for tables
but they make premier gear

I couldn't be happier with my gavia

fly up to Denver and visit both Teres and Galibier and hear it for yourself
THom even reimburses money towards airfare
