| Glue choices for making the Garrard 301 plinth never considered ball bearings to be honest. I thought of led pellet's, sand and a synthetic putty we use at work for similar things but that didn't have the longevity needed. remember what ever you put in there is in there for life. In the end sa... | |
| Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable one thing to consider is your power going to your house changes a few volts all the time that alone will throw off a turntable with out compensation. My place fluctuates up to 10volts depending on the time of day and temperatures. | |
| Music Hall vs. Schiit who designs music halls DAC's? Mike Moffit at Schitt Audio is one of the founders of ADC-DAC's? Schitts stuff is upgradable too to the multibit version. that's the way i'd go if it was my money. | |
| My Cary amp - the story of a hum and a bug i'd see if you can find a person with the updated amp and see if they are willing to take internal pictures, that may be an option abet not an ideal one. glen | |
| Glue choices for making the Garrard 301 plinth Bamboo is quite expensive but worth the effort. in building. .and cutting ( it will burn through your tools fyi). I went with honey bamboo Ply. bamboo ply is quite a bit thicker then other types of Ply also. I think the sheet sizes were 4x6 and a... | |
| Turntable leveling something to also consider: is the tone arm level to your plinth. good idea to make sure both are true to each other so when you level the whole table everything is true to each other. Not such an issue with tables that have an arm mounted by the ... | |
| Looking for a good full range floor stander klipsch horn should fill the room. ;-) | |
| Help me decide on my next cartridge (<$900) Chakstr I have not owned personally any NOS carts (well i suppose my VDH cart is well over 15 years old now) I'm going off what friends who have owned many have talked about during our weekly Audio club luncheons. So as I said MAY need rebuilding.... | |
| Help ! one last thing to consider is, if you have an internet connection and don't want to bother coping your CD's try a Tidal or Spotify streaming service. I was going to get a Bluesound vault but after I got Tidal I can't be bothered as most CDs I was... | |
| Glue choices for making the Garrard 301 plinth I'm not sure what the builder of my plinth used for glue (I think it was a two part aircraft epoxy) but we went with bamboo ply instead of the birch. I have heard the same plinth design in birch and bamboo and the bamboo has somewhat more impact i... | |
| Help ! Easies would be to buy something like the bluesound vault 2i. It has built in storage, streaming ability and DAC all in one unit. outputs in digital or analogue via RCA. NAS harder but has some advantages in larger potential size and better back... | |
| Selling my dads top of the line system I'd sell it separately you'll have better luck IMO. summer time is not the best time to sell either by the way but if you price fair you should get some buyers. I'd look on Hifishark the web site has good pricing information from all over the net,... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Everything evolves. early transistor based amps from the 60's-70's were sort of horrid, it took them a decade to really flush out the transistor amp sound and another decade to sort out the different types of transistors and class types now we hav... | |
| Living Voice mods? Interesting, I also Have Living Voice speakers, what mods did you end up doing ad what was the outcome? | |
| The Golden era of Japanese integrated amps, are we missing out? I am a fan of vintage gear that was done right to start with. The likes of Sansui, Luxman , Accouphase , Marantz in refurbished trim are outstanding integrated amps. I believe the integrated amps of this time are better in some cases and easier... |
