Teres/Scheu-Help

Thanks for the initial info, both of you. I am very aware the Scheu was the blueprint, so to speak, for the Teres tables. I was even considering the 255 Teres but it gets a bit pricier at that level, but probably well worth it I suspect. I am quite capable of doing the actual arm setup myself, I have the gear to do it properly. I guess the question for me is: Which Teres table is likely to be close, sonically, to the Scheu. Perhaps the lower end Teres are sonically in line with the Premier II, I don't know. I have heard the Scheu but not any of the Teres models, hence my curiosity with the Teres. When buying a Teres, is it necessary to do some additional work as they come in a kit form or not. What is involed, or does it come ready to go with some set up, etc.
Rlmm. Thanks.

Hey guys, Rlmm here. I really appreciate all the discussion on the TT ideas, however, I certainly hope this discussion does not put one at odds with another. This is supposed to be an honest and informative discussion and while I VERY MUCH appericate everyone's time, I hate to see this heading in the wrong direction. All that said, let me share a bit of information to all of you that is more recent updated information regarding pricing and other issues I have some concern about. I checked this out myself.

1st, current pricing on the Premier II buying direct, including freight, is much less than through a US dealer such as Audio Advancements. This is not surprising of course.
2nd, It clearly states on the Scheu website and in Germany to deal directly with them as no current dealers exist in the US, and potential customers are directed to them for this purpose. I'm not sure what the relationship is between Scheu and Audio Advancements. It may be just fine but this might be of concern to some.
3rd, It seems to me to be a difficult comparrison to make between the two models, Teres/Scheu, because Teres has so many models to choose from, a nice thing to have available but lots of decisions and choices to make. I realize this makes sense from an upgrade point of view.

So, I'm still in a state of indecision only because any good honest evaluations on the Scheu did not seem to come forward, but some very positive comments regarding the Teres units. Perhaps a good sign, but a little more info on the benefits or shortcomings of the Scheu would be illuminating.
Rlmm.
