Thinking of selling my Teres

If it were me I'd start building the new system with the Teres as a foundation. I wouldn't change it unless I found a TT I liked better, and a buyer who'd appreciate the Teres. But that's me and not you. Best of luck!

stop getting rid of stuff...no reason to.

Maybe the wife thing is because you would not let her touch the TT and she felt like # 2 in your life.

Invite her over for a spot of tea and show her she's # 1 and let her take the TT for a spin. =8^)

My thoughts are with Tobias:
If you like the TT and can't think of one you would like better keep it. If there is one you would rather have, and your sure, trade it in. Very simple.

Jphii,

I looked at the pictures of your turntable and it's a work of art and the fact that it makes beautiful music is just the icing on the cake. Since you built it yourself there is an additional attachment. You should never part with that turntable no matter what.

If you're getting antzy then upgrade the cartridge or the phono preamp but KEEP THE TERES! A good source is the heart of the system. Why start all over?

I broke out an old Yes album today and was simply mesmerized by it. I was listening to the side with "Yours is no Disgrace," and it blew my mind. It's clean, it's clear, very dynamic and musical, with powerful articlate lows and fast shimmering highs. It's great how an LP can do that after decades of sitting on a shelf.

I know what you mean about the wife thing. My music system's have been with me since puberty and that's one constant in my life that I won't give up. Women come and go.

I've been married for over 17 years now. I got my wife her own stereo (which sounds pretty good) so she doesn't have to mess with mine. She wouldn't know how to work it anyway.

Same with my car... I bought a stick so my wife doesn't want to learn to drive it. It works for me. :)

Glory, you need to get your priorities straight. What a sap you are!
