Teres Versus with Galibier/Redpoint?


I'm planning to add another turntable to my system(currently have VPI SSM rim drive/10.5i). Along with the Raven AC, I'm most intrigued by the Galibier Stelvio and Redpoint Model D. Any of these tables would allow the flexibility of Differing/multiple arms and a contrast to the sound of the VPI. One potential advantage to the Galibier and Redpoint might be the ability to position the Teres Versus next to the platter as an alternate drive method. In this way, one might be able to use direct drive and tape drive interchangably. Does anyone have experience trying this or is the tape drive good enough that this would make little difference?

it's been a while since this thread had been active but I was curious as to how you made out with your turntable search.I have my suspicions, but I want to hear it from you.
What has your search lead you to?

Inquiring minds wanna know...

that's quite interesting,I had you pegged for a TW of some type judging by your posts.

I totally agree with you about the difficulty of choice between the Galibier (any model) and the TW Acustic.As one A'Gonner stated "it depends on which side of the bed I woke up on" and another, "if I had to make the choice again I could have gone the other direction"
However, I must say,it seems that the community of Galibier owners (Teres as well) and support is very positive and must be considered by anyone considering taking the plunge,this is just my my observation.

I see you have been well traveled in these last few months.
Isn't it a great situation to be in having to decide among such great tables,designs and designers?

In short the Technics sounds killer,judging by the fact that you we're a to audition 3-4 tables in such a close span of time.your audio memory must have been taxed but the fact you chose the SP-10 above the killer 3 you've auditioned says ALOT!
I will keep my eyes peeled for more about them.
