Teres 340, anyone heard / seen one in the flesh


One of my last turntable upgrades might be to this beautiful beast.

What is the verdict of those that have listened to it?.

Is this a lifetime purchase. Or is there room for improvement?. (like any of us will ever end our neurotic quest for the holy audio grail)

Alvin? ALVIN!!

I appreciate the kind gesture but ebay's an open market. Please bid on whatever you want. Besides, I can always barge into your office and listen to it there.

Rather naively perhaps, my ebay handle is, well, the same as my A'gon and Vinyl Asylum handles. Not very clever but easy to remember.

cardiackid I've made a TT from maple. I use the VPI Aries plater and inverted bearing. What do you think the sonic benefits would be if I purchased the Teres 340 plater and bearing?
Thanks

I guess I better start saving up my pennies. A 340 with two arm boards may be the ticket.

Do we know what a 345 is yet?, there have been some talk of it on the Teres Forum, but nothing concrete.

Will this make my EMM Labs stuff obsolete?.
Yes, we know what a 345 is. I tried to post a picture of the only 345 extant on the Teres forum, but I guess i didn't go through. You can see it here:

Two-Armed Teres

It was being set up this past weekend by Chris himself.
We have been calling Cello's two arm 340 a 345 but that is
not the official name. Rather than a new model number the
official designation will be 340-2. Since a number of Teres
models are now available with two tonearms the naming
convention needed to be consistent.
