Teres audio DIY turntable

there are lots of sites devoted to personal teres builds, including the ones on their site which are numerous. I personally haven't heard one, but have seen the motor which is top notch. The teres TT as well as the 'cousin' company Redpoint both make highly regarded tables, so i suppose you be in a good start.
At diyaudio.com (which as far as i know is where the teres/redpoint started) i know that there is also a group buy of a platter/bearing going on, but i am not sure where it's at (Nanook was the one running it)

Hello Mantisory,

Just to set the record straight, here's a flow chart of the lineage which began with Teres and subsequently spawned Redpoint and Galibier:

I don't even know if diyaudio.com was around at that time.

In late January of 2000 after we (the original "Teres 6") froze the bearing and platter design, I rounded up about 35 of the participants for the first build from a place called the "Joe List" - a listserv sponsored by Joe Roberts of Sound Practices.

It was from this list that Manfred Huber came and donated his controller design to the project - a design I lovingly refer to as the "Hubermatic" and one which Chris licensed for the commercial Teres venture.

Peter and I went in a different with controllers when we formed Redpoint in the Spring of 2001.

It seems so long ago ...

Cheers,
Thom @ Galibier

Mantisory thanks for the info and I already started reading the posts at diyaudio.com and they are great.

Thom,thanks for the inside information,it is much appreciated,can you offer your opinion on the Teres components? I definetely seen your name before and I was well aware about your association with the analog.

Any other people can chime in with their opinion?

George
