Re: Teres vs. 301

I noticed over at your website that your Teres is using the solid acrylic platter. I recently upgraded my acrylic platter to the shot loaded acrylic platter. I guess that transforms my 135 into a 145. I think the difference gained in this upgrade would be exactly what is needed in a Teres before making any comparison to a rim-drive table like the 301.

The shot loaded platter upgrade is so good that it has me believing this this is the 'correct' platter and the solid acrylic platter is the 'wrong' platter. The improvements were immediately obvious in the pace/toe-tapping qualities. Also immediately a more authoritive low frequency makes its presence known. More subtle improvements came in soundstage and imaging with stronger, more believeable (palpable), imaging.

I don't think it would be fair to compare any Teres to a good rim-drive table without the heavier Teres platter installed. So if you are feeling like throwing rocks at that Teres, take heart. More and better is available.
