Nostro Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Nothing wrong here: Teres 360 I posted this the other day in TT porn thread. Pictured here with Schroeder & Morch UP-4 Platter apparently weights ~30kgms & entire rig ~85kgms. Price unsure? Indeed very tasty.
2sheds Posted July 22, 2008 Author Posted July 22, 2008 Nothing wrong here:Teres 360 I posted this the other day in TT porn thread. Pictured here with Schroeder & Morch UP-4 Platter apparently weights ~30kgms & entire rig ~85kgms. Price unsure? Indeed very tasty. Nostro, Scary. I just had that particular model (slightly different photo) ready to paste into the thread and noticed your post. What do they say about great minds...? :o And the Teres Certus Model 460 with matching Gibraltar stand (as you have illustrated) sells for US$25,500 or $18,500 without the stand. cheers 2sheds
Nostro Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Then again @ ~80K The Blue Pearl Audio JEM TT is quite a reasonable rig. More scrumptious pics of this TT here: http://www.audiofederation.com/hifiing/2007/CES2007/report-1000/high-end-audio/the-show/part4/index.htm Plus you'll find some other great pics of TT's but also plenty of other gear. This isn't too bad either:

Now I wonder what the cost of freight out here would be? I might just have to wait to get the arms & cartridges of my choice, but in the meantime it will be a pleasure to gaze at.

Nostro, Yes, a relative bargain when you compare it to some of the steel and perspex monsters.... cheers 2sheds
A9X Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 I'll have one of these, please.... with one of these... And a Garrott Decca. In the mean time an old Rock + Excaliber +Denon 103 will have to do when I drag it out of storage soon, and I finish the Garard 401 project with an SME 300 arm.
2sheds Posted July 22, 2008 Author Posted July 22, 2008 Nakamichi TX-1000 (Long out of production) Nakamichi's engineering marvel which mad records sound wonderful by centring the to within 0.01mm, improving the sound, particularly pitch. Details here. It cost $7,500 when new ( a Rega Planar 3 was around $300) cheers 2sheds
2sheds Posted July 22, 2008 Author Posted July 22, 2008 Those Yorkes are very nice ... if i'm not mistaken, Mikey Fremer used to have one until he upgraded to the Continuum. Yes, I agree Keith. In the style stakes they would have to be pretty close to the top of the tree. And they apparently sound very, very good. cheers 2sheds
2sheds Posted July 22, 2008 Author Posted July 22, 2008 at a quick glance i thought it said 'vulgar' ... wouldnt have been far off the mark:D Ohhh - unkind, Grifter :o I liked the fact that these guys (Italian company) tried to put a little (OK - a lot ) colour into the dreary silvers and perspex which dominate todays designs. Maybe in the pool room... cheers 2sheds
2sheds Posted July 22, 2008 Author Posted July 22, 2008 There seems to be a problem with one of your posts 2Sheds, the SL-1200 Mk2 isn't loading Darn, I thought I was covering up my bias against Direct Drives, Asteroid If you have to go direct drive how about one of these.... Kenwood L-07D One of the greatest direct drive turntables ever made. Pioneer Exclusive P3 In 1980 this was the finest Japanese turntable available. cheers 2sheds

This isn't too bad either: Sorry, Nostro - to me that Vyger looks like a cross between a thermo nuclear device and an ashtray Definitely not my cup of tea.... cheers 2sheds
davidsss Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Pioneer the best Japanese TT in 1980, what about the Micros? Wait a minute, that thing does have more than a passing resemblance to a Micro Seiki. DS

Wait a minute, that thing does have more than a passing resemblance to a Micro Seiki.DS DS, The pinnacle of Micro Seiki turntables came a couple of years later, I believe (LZ 1T and SX 8000 II). And the Pioneer weighed in at a rather healthy 49kg. Even the tonearm seems to have designs on the Micro Seiki MAX 282....I would not be at all surprised if there was not collaboration between the 2 manufacturers cheers 2sheds
tigertim Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 You mean this one with the special acoustic carpet mat. Nah.. that's 2sheds hair piece.....he's been looking for it...
2sheds Posted July 22, 2008 Author Posted July 22, 2008 Nah.. that's 2sheds hair piece.....he's been looking for it... Oye :o Fair suck of the sav, Tim I'm not grey....yet It doesn't seem to hang around that long... And please tell me you don't have one of those Nakamichi record players, stuck away in your collection... cheers 2sheds
tigertim Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Altogether very ordinary in this company....but 20 years ago??
jaspert Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Altogether very ordinary in this company....but 20 years ago?? What happened ? Did you buy into that "CD is forever" business?
tigertim Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Oye :mad: Fair suck of the sav, Tim I'm not grey....yet It doesn't seem to hang around that long...And please tell me you don't have one of those Nakamichi record players, stuck away in your collection... cheers 2sheds Likewise.. very hard to go grey if you are an eggshell blonde:D Nope.. completely free of Nakamichi turntables .. does a brochure for the TX1000 count??? about as close as I'll get ..Like most of what has been on show here.. waaayyy out of my price range.. especially as I will have to pay using the south pacific peso very soon :o Prefer my Garrards in anycase ... I have a fondness for hulking great turntables with lotsa strobe markings.. makes 'em look techo
2sheds Posted July 22, 2008 Author Posted July 22, 2008 Altogether very ordinary in this company....but 20 years ago?? TT, Sounds like something Mrs Sheds said to me recently... :o I reckon the Goldmund T5 still looks remarkably good (I'm not a fan of perspex). And I reckon you could pick one up for a darn sight less than the $300,000 asking price of the latest Goldmund... cheers 2sheds
