Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi?
Guilty of both. Being a gearhead, love the equipment and of course what would the equipment be without the music?Peace out. 
Garrard 301-Worth the effort?
Hifi in general is subjective and comes down to personal preference. I personally felt the Slate plinths with the Lenco were cold and sterile, lacking tonality and emotion. I can see why you would want your turntable to be as neutral as possible, ... 
Garrard 301-Worth the effort?
Hiho, It's well documented that the best designs of Lenco plinths (check Lenco forums, various audio forums all over the web) usually call for super high mass plinths which use certain materials (like various plywoods and other materials). This is... 
Lenco and Garrard external ac power supply
I will steer clear of nantais, but been warned already, but thanks though for your advice :) Arrogance is often mistaken for knowledge, which in my life experience is misconceiving. In actuality, those possessing true knowledge have nothing to be ... 
Garrard 301-Worth the effort?
"This is an unfair comment. If you look on his website gallery, his latest tables are beautiful." Sorry, I see nothing about the fit and finish of those tables on his site that are anything to write home about at least in my opinion...mediocre fin... 
Lenco and Garrard external ac power supply
Would not contact that nantais guy in any case, heard too many stories about his blatant arrogance and questionable customer service. Maybe a used PS Audio power plant of some sort would be the ticket, its worth a try in any event. 
Garrard 301-Worth the effort?
Gilles, the slate oma Lenco I listened to was cold and sterile to my ears, at least in comparison to a well build wood plinth setup with the same tone arm. Too coolish neutral sounding at just not all musical or tonally pleasing. Definitely not my... 
Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301
Chris at Artisan Fidelity is rumored to be working on a new platter and oil/grease bearing for the 301 and 401 Garrard models. Rumor has it their new Lenco bearings are out of this world. The Artisan Fidelity Garrard 301 is supposedly going to be ... 
Garrard 301-Worth the effort?
"Steve Dobbins is probably the best person in the US to tweak it and refresh the linkage and idler. "Not true. I'd try Chris at Artisan Fidelity, rumor has it they are currently working on a new 301 restoration which is going to be out of this wor...

Natural, musical, dynamic phono preamp 700 used
Bajaed, wanted to give you a heads up on the GCPH in stock form, I would say it is not the most musical or tonally accurate phono stage. Heard it with a Thorens TD124 and Jelco setup with Benz Glider and compared to the EAR (in a friends system no... 
Natural, musical, dynamic phono preamp 700 used
Haha, ok already Wino, we get it, you support the Ebay and Taiwan "hifi" underdogs - well they're all yours, bon appetit. Sorry your feelings are obviously hurt but you are going to have to accept that not everyone shares the same sentiment when i... 
Natural, musical, dynamic phono preamp 700 used
Advice is one thing and I appreciate the input of everyone here including yourself, but you're over the top with your Taiwan/Chinese built "hifi" loyalty remarks. Funny that someone who is so defensive about Ebay Taiwan hi end audio brands has a s... 
Natural, musical, dynamic phono preamp 700 used
Who was talking about Jolida?? Sorry, I am afraid cheap DIY looking Ebay hifi electronics made in Taiwan or China is just nothing I would take seriously. Of course I could be mistaken here, maybe others who have experience with this Taiwan brand c... 
Natural, musical, dynamic phono preamp 700 used
The EAR834p made the list because a buddy of mine has had one for years and likes it. I've heard it plenty in his system (which is completely different than mine) but not here. I also know the designer of the EAR has been around a long time and is...
