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?

That would be quite a turntable collection.

Just thinking out loud...
Regarding TW Acustics I know some owners are using 1/4 tape with their Raven Ones and like it very much.

However it may be another story trying to use it on the 3 motor Raven AC, possible difficulties installing the tape on three pulleys including the platter, well difficult for me perhaps, big mitts.

They are all good tables , the end results with this experiment could be surprising.

Just a thought....Perhaps Doug would welcome you into his home to experience his modified Teres table. I believe he lives in the north east of United States.

Next stop High Water Sound in New York.

Then you could swing around to Oswald Mill Audio in Pennsylvania....Who knows, after this stop you may no longer care about flexibility for multiple arms....I know the price, however at least you experienced the Saskia.

Then to Denver....
