Teres/Scheu-Help

Both are nice tables. I personally own a Teres 245 and like it very much. You may be interested to know that the Scheu TT was the turntable used as the starting concept from which the original Teres project sprung. The Teres idea was to build upward from the Scheu table, with significant improvement in mind. I think they succeeded.

Brian, generally speaking, a project that starts out to exceed a certain benchmark will not be considered successful if it doesn't exceed the performance of that benchmark. Since the Teres group had the Scheu right there to work from, I suspect that they knew if they were getting better results, or not. I have not done the A/B comparison myself.

However, I don't doubt that the Scheu is a very fine table. If you did the comparison yourself, then you know what the exact comparison would yield. And, since all this is subjective, you might just find something about the Scheu that you like better than the Teres, but not everyone might find that to be so. That's why there are a variety of turntables out there. I've heard some people say they like a certain turntable better than another, when it was clearly the opposite, to my ears. So, to each his own.

Enjoy your table and your music. In any case, we both have good ones.

Brian, seems to me that you are the only one being "annoyed". I was quite cordial and deferential to your experience in the matter, and ended with a "to each his own" statement, even though your previous other posts described your Teres as "255ish", which indicates a DIY version or variant, and may easily have sounded different than a factory version(perhaps better, or worse) In any case, it sheds similar doubt on your "personal experience" with these tables as you accuse my opinion of having. It seems that my attempt at friendly interaction has fallen on deaf ears with you, so I'll not make that mistake in the future.

Apparently, you have more than a passing interest in Scheu tables, because your other posts boldly advise another member even which Scheu dealer or Scheu importer you feel should be supported with a Scheu purchase. So maybe, you are doing a little "schilling" of your own. Also, I noticed in those other posts that you have some kind of problem with me and my posts in other matters too.

So if you have some personal problem about me in particular, then send me an email and get it off your chest. Otherwise, I'll post as I see fit, and within Audiogon rules.
