Teres, redpoint or galibier turntable

I have been looking into replacing my aeries and have done a lot of reading on different turntables.

It looks like Galibier tables went up in price. I think that the Gavia is one to consider. Looking into the Teres line the new to be released 260 model most definitely looks to be highly considered. And the price seems acceptable.

I know what a belt drive table is all about but the new Verus direct drive system is a unknown to me.

Redpoint tables may be out of my price range.

Any comments on these tables is welcome. I did not want to start another thread as this one says it all.

In the 6 months since last post i am hoping for some updated info

thanks all

Hello Rauliruegas and thanks for the info. Yes no doubt i have put together a system that can give you hours of musical enjoyment in a short time since my being victimized by Katrina.

But with all due respect dont know if you are being facetious or what but tonearm/cartridge phonoamp/preamp! I could not be more happy with those components. But i think i understand where you are coming from my Aeries at 60 plus pounds is surly a mass loaded turntable, quite and stable. And most would be glad to have one. With out the opportunity to compare it to the mentioned tables in this thread i would not know if its good, better, or worse.

Stringgreen yes the rim drive looks interesting but not available for Aeries tables as of yet. Teres VERUS Direct Coupled Motor system is for use in all tables and that is something i am considering also.

Hello Raul i upgraded my phono amp to a non transformer type due to your recommendation a good while back. Got a good deal on a Tom Evens Groove Plus and after having it a while had the SRX upgrade done. This alone was a huge step up from my 834p.

I thought i was happy using VPIs 10.5 unipivot arm until i got to talking to Mr. Mehran at Sora sound he gave me the opportunity to give Tri Planar a spin, again a serious upgrade indeed. Ditto on going from a DV 20xl to a ZYX UNIverse Xsbl.

Now on my Audio Horizons 2.1 nrb with Siemens CCA tubes all around i am not going to say it was a upgrade to my Nuforce P-9, i prefer 2.1s tube magic in a preamp with my system more than P-9. P-9 is a fine preamp.

I am into this hobby and passion because i love to listen to music. I mean that sincerely my wife is of the same fabric so on week nights when we come home from work we have dinner, and its Rock and Roll until. On weekends well you know.

You wont meet a person who is on a quest to achieve the best music reproduction at home than me. Of coarse money does come into play in that thought. I have been lucky enough to have super people like Mr Mehran, Ty Tyler, John Castler, and a few more who have treated me with there best in equipment and just plain good old friendship. And like i said above when you have to start over from scratch in not only a music system but everything else thats needed in life that friendship is treasured.

Thanks for your time and you to enjoy the music.

Thom you have a business to run. and i dont think me are any one else here on the gon will hold you responsible for how you have to run Galibier to make a profit.

I was going through the Moody Blues Catalogue tonight and in between A Question of Balance and Every Good Boy i made the bad decision to check this darn thread and well bummer.

For what its worth to me I dont need Charity and if you took it that way sorry. Haven't got any yet. And dont need any. I have a good job that pays very well.

Maybe i am reading to much into your post, as i have had a very long day as well. Vertical transportation is a demanding job.
