Teres audio DIY turntable

Hi folks,I recently became aware of the Teres audio availability of components geared towards the DIY .Specifically they offer the bearing the platter and motor with controller and housing.Anybody here bought their parts and put them together to construct a turntable? Any positive experience?Is it worth it? Or should the money be spend on a different turntable.The bearing+platter is $1425 and the motor/contoller $1690.They also offer a clamp for $90.I understand that the plinth will need to be outsourced (maybe thick maple or aluminum plate,acrylic),I don't see one available in their website.Any thoughts on this from the ones that tried it or experienced analog users will be appreciated.My other table is an Oracle Delphi mk2 with Rega RB 1000,but it is not used at the moment.
Regards
George

Mantisory thanks for the info and I already started reading the posts at diyaudio.com and they are great.

Thom,thanks for the inside information,it is much appreciated,can you offer your opinion on the Teres components? I definetely seen your name before and I was well aware about your association with the analog.

Any other people can chime in with their opinion?

Hi George,

Teres makes good stuff.

Throughout my association with Chris, we've differed on minor philosophical issues and approached the bulls eye from places 180 degrees apart ... all the while, converging on the same bulls eye.

Cheers,
Thom @ Galibier
