| Garrard 301 - Project @noromance Totally hear you and I appreciate the feedback. On surface, the Softone Model 4 may appear to be weakest link given rest of the components in the analog chain but Model 4 phono turned out to be pretty darn good and wonderfully engagin... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @macg19 I placed my order of Model 4 phono, delivery estimate end of June. I am looking at some alternatives to Telefunken 12AX7 NOS to try it out. Do you or anyone else here tried Amperex Bugle Boy - ECC83 (Holland) or Tungsram (Hungry) in a ph... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @noromance Thanks…Joe Williams shares some stylistic elements with Nat King Cole. Another personal favorite of mine is Johnny Hartman…there’s not a lot of recorded material, but what exists is pure gold. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project How about Count Basie…my personal favorites, 88 Basie Street and Farmer’s Market Barbecue. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project “Ben Meets Oscar Peterson, Ben Meets Gerry Mulligan, and Coleman Hawkins Encounters” @mdalton These albums are must own in any collection and they’re my favorites too. I would like to add another one to the list - Art Tatum; Ben Webster The... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project “Tele ECC803S which is never under $700” @noromance They cost twice as much as my phono stage….yikes!! | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @mdalton Congratulations on your fine purchase. I did look into MJ Acoustics before buying REL’s. I do like their high quality build and bespoke veneer finishes. My experience with Tannoy’s super tweeters is nothing but positive. They have add... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes “I am gonna have to disagree on this one” @mdalton I get where you’re coming from and comparison to Ptolemy’s geocentric model is a good analogy. I’m all for theory-based approaches, and I think skepticism is healthy, especially when people sta... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @devinplombier I appreciate your kind words on my system. NADAC stack is indeed a very ‘special’ product. It’s a shame that they didn’t gain much traction in US market. Thank you for your thoughtful response. Agreed, our ears are limited to p... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes “Router, switches, Ethernet cabling and the like should have zero effect on sound quality“ @devinplombier You’re absolutely right from a purely technical and engineering standpoint. However, many experienced listeners here reported audible diffe... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @larryi Noted. @noromance Side by Side (Acoustic Sounds Reissue) I am really enjoying this classic duo album where Hodges steps out front with Ellington’s graceful support. Swinging, relaxed, and full of lyrical alto work. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @larryi @noromance There are bargain out there if you’re patient. I got my last pair of Telefunken 12AX7 NOS ( Made in W Germany) for under $100. Setup alerts on HiFi Shark and take your pick. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @noromance I didn’t find anything else on Storyville Label that I couldn’t live without :-) | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @noromance Ben plays Ballads by Storyville is excellent. No surface noise, the pressing is made in EU. I am not easily impressed but this one is a keeper. I am going to look up this record label and see what else they’ve got. @macg19 Kenny... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @macg19 In case you don’t own this title, very nice and clean record. https://a.co/d/daCwZyd |
