Teres Turntable/Soundsmith Strain Gauge System


I wanted to report on my new Teres Audio Certus 450 Turntable, Teres Audio Reference Tonearm, Soundsmith Strain Gauge Cartridge, and Soundsmith Strain Gauge 410 Phono Preamp. Chris Brady of Teres Audio installed my Teres Certus Turntable system and Soundsmith Strain Gauge Cartridge System a little over a week ago.

My 2 channel system consists of modified Aragon Palladium 1K monoblock amps, modified Onkyo PR-SC885 Pre/Pro amp, and totally rebuilt and modified Dahlquist DQ-10 speakers. Each speaker cabinet is mirror imaged with a soft dome Dynaudio tweeter and midrange driver and a Peerless open lower midrange driver and a proprietary woofer. The speaker cabinet crossovers have been totally redone as a bi-wire with Van Den Hul 12ga silverplate/Teflon wiring.

My personal taste in music is from classic rock, progressive rock to classical.

Raul,

I have some pictures of it. It is similar to the Schroder in that it is a wood armwand and a very low slung counterweight. Not sure how the bearing works. Some say it is better than.... XYZ means little to me. As you would say, w. what cartridge in what system etc.
