so I guess what I'm asking is if that weighty full sound of the idler is a coloration. An over emphasis of a certain frequency that is perhaps not true to the record??
Is a Garrard 401 or 301 "accurate"??
So my question is this..I have been running a modified Garrard 401 or 301 for the last 20 years. Right now I have a 401 in a slate plinth, after market Idler, bearing and platter. I honestly have not really done much listening to modern high end turntables. Now that I've been spending more on my system over the last few years, the rest of the components including arm, cartridge and phono stage are of a higher caliber than they were 20 years ago. I am wondering if what I am hearing is a colored presentation. To my ears it sounds great but it's a very full weighty kind of sound. Just wondering what people who have compared a high end table directly to a modded garrard feel. Are the Garrard's presentation one that is not necessarily tonally accurate?? Thanks David
