Terres TT why a mystery

I would like to add that the original Teres Project was designed and engineered in the public domain, on the internet, by some of the best DIY analog enthusiasts in the world. An international effort to produce the best TT available at any price. All of the design information is publicly available. Anything that may happen to this TT can be repaired by any competent technician, with the information available on the web. Or you could do it yourself. The platter, bearing, base, and arm board will last virtually forever. The only potential problems would come from the motor assembly. The motor is available directly from the Swiss manufacturer. The controller info is on the web.

Teres looks like it is only getting more and more popular, and has a good outlook. It is a greater likelihood that this TT may cause other TT makers to go out of business, than the other way around. This is a company on its way up. I'd say get in early before the prices go up.

I am an owner of the model 255. It costs abot $2400. I beleive that it was offered by a major manufacturer who had to pay for ads, and was distibuted through a dealer, it would sell for 8-10 grand. If you look at the tables in this price range, you will see that they are not nearly as high quality as the teres 255. If you see a 255 in person, yu will see that it is of extremely high quality and way overbuilt. Also, Chris, the owner of teres, is very nice, helpful, and accessible.

How do i get in communication with terres?

I agree with Sean most dealers are only informed about the products they sell and sometimes the are not versed in product knowledge in the audio industry.This is a story that happened to me,living up by Seattle I on occation go to certain dealers in Seattle (which are limited)went into one that has been around many many years.I told him I was thinking of upgradeing form a rega p-25 (he is a rega dealer) to a VPI TNT he tried to convince this would be a downgrade yes a DOWNGRAGE, I walked out shaking my head. Got home researched VPI for several weeks,reading posts on audiogon posting posts on audiogon reading some more. Bought the TNT what a upgrade yes upgrade, Were I am going with this (like Sean said) is some dealers are lazy and illinformed, listen to the pros the guys that are using them and when there not there thinking about them. PS maybe I should have bought a Teres TT. David
