RE: I was wondering when you guys were going to get wind of this.....

There has been a long running thread over at A'gon/Analog forum on the topic.

I'm curious enough to have placed a request with Chris for a tryout on my own. I should get mine sometime mid Sept. Imagine a long waiting list of current Teres owners wanting to upgrade.

Consider this:
27 lb shot-loaded platter spinning on a beefy Teres bearing getting its drive via tire at the rim rather than belt.

The motor is something quite different from the previous Teres status-quo as well. A non-cogging AC synchronous with eddy current brake as damper and a separate power supply. Understand that the motor isn't off-the-shelf. Teres manufactures this item themselves! I'll forgive Chris for touting the "eddy brake" as an innovation. Every 301/401 and TD124 owner knows that "eddy current dampers" have been in use for quite some time.

Anyway I'm curious to see how the "Verus Upgrade" compares against my TD124. As it is now, the Teres that I have is very very good at delivering the goods in all but one critical area.....musical energy. It lacks that last bit of energy and explosive drive that a decent idler drive should produce. Perhaps this latest upgrade is the answer. Time will tell.

PS: imagine a VPI Scout with a "direct coupled rim drive". I wonder what HW is working on these days?
