Speakers Corner QC?
Doug,I've gotten a couple and played them on the old TT, and they sounded great. Any thing that I pay top dollar for, I tend to be more critical of. Arnold Schoenberg: Five Pieces for Orchestra Op. 16 is very well recorded. I like the MLP SC reiss...

DIY Dust Cover for Teres or Other Audio Equipments
If I can get my cover finished next week, Ill put up some pictures. Decided to go with plain mahogony & lexan. It will give me a chance to show off a cool corner joint I use in making display cases. I want it to disappear into the background. ... 
Teres update
Here is a link to the photo page directly. I am in the process of redoing the index page:New PicturesAnd for those who are really observant, I know the VTA collar is not sittting flush. I forgot to clean the crap out of the hole before I put it in... 
Teres update
OK. I am going to post a few pictures here in a few minutes. Here's where I'm at. The base is done. The armboard is done. The plinth is all veneered, and just needs the final scraping and sanding before the finish is put on. I went with amber shel... 
Teres update
Getting there. I was going to have a vinyl party on Sunday. Then today I decided to re-do the venner. Just wasn't quite there, IMHO. I came up with a better design. So, a couple of more days. Everything else looks spectacular. Arm board, done. Sub...

Hate to say it, but in your price range I'd agree with Psychic. For the money , I think it's better than any of the others.

I still have my D35. After owning about 30 in my lifetime, I kept the Martin and a Takamine classical signed by Lee Ritenour. I keep them temp & humidity controlled!

Sayas,You are mistaken and misinformed, FACT. But, you're right saying that other "machines" can do just as good a job. I finish sanded my plinth and armboard today. By hand. With a block. Just for shits & grins, I pulled out the dial indicato... 
Teres update
OK just a quick update. I need to drill the sensor hole, then veneer the plinth. I loaded the arm board with shot today. Looks real good with cocobolo plugs in ebony! I also shaved it a little thinner, just to be on the safe side. Every fit togeth...

I like it. It gives me some more work to do. Us DIYers never run out of projects! I might even have enough cocobolo & ebony left to match it to the Teres.Great idea!

David,I only wish I had the skills!!! We have an intern at the shop who is going to study further in Germany after she graduates from ECU. She wants to learn marquetry in a big way. I have a feeling she will be very, very good at it. This base won...
