TERES - trially Good

After experementing with VTA, VTF, overhang, loading (currently using a pair of K&K Audio Lundahl L9206 set to 20 dB feeding through a Wright WPP100C phono pre) my 255 table sounds perfect! I used to have two tables the Teres and a Michell Gyro SE MKII. I sold the Michell a while ago and frankly, I don't miss it a bit. My 255 is clearly better in my ears. The Teres is all I need! Using Benz ACE for now but saving for a Shelter to mate with my OL Silver arm.

I have the TERES 255 with the battery option and upgraded motor. I can't believe that I will be able to afford a table that sound this great. Within the current price range (or even double the price IMO) for this table, it will be very hard to beat it or find a unit that is equal in it's performance stand point. The Teres is amazing! I cannot put it any plainer than that.

Thanks to TWL, Chris Brady, Jay K. (Audio Revelation)and Khaki8 in helping me during the set-up process.

Life is good!!!!

Coouugar,

User510 at Audio Asylum posted some pics and link to his website review pages that shows the 1/2 red mylar tape as the belt for the Teres motor with the upgraded pulley. Check it out if you haven't done so already. I read you review of the 255 at the Teres site when I am on the deciding stages of the purchase. I can claim that your review is one of the reason why I am enjoying the 255 right now. Although late and indirectly, I like to extend my thanks.

Thanks for the update on User510 Teres, I seen it the first day it went up. I have been thinking of purchasing the pulley for my 255. Thank You, I'm glad I could be helpful in your purchase of the Teres 255.

Steve,

Don't think, just do it! The tape made a significant difference on my 265. I predict it will be even more effective at stabilizing platters with lower rotational inertia. You will be quite pleased.

To put it in a comparative context, TWL's $20 HiFi Mod for the OL Silver arm brings it within sneezing distance of the next model up, which costs $500 more. The $20 tape/pulley upgrade does almost that much, not quite, for a Teres.

Enjoy,
Doug
