| Importance of clocking About local files, couple of distinctions in my setup as to why local files sounds superior to those being streamed from Qobuz/Tidal: 1) No network noise and latency due to files being played from internal SSD storage of N30SA. 2) 95% of stored... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @mdalton Thanks for catching my mis-calculation. I went ahead and placed an order - 4mm / thick, 295mm full-size. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @mdalton Thank you for the clarification. I think I know where to go from here. | |
| Importance of clocking @greg_f I am merely sharing my views based on responses here and other threads. It was not my intention to offend or isolate anyone. @antigrunge2 and my experience with an external clock are nothing but exemplary. I must admit, implementation an... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @mclinnguy Thanks for the mention. It comes down to choice of components in one’s system whether they can hear a difference with cables or tweaks. And then there is room acoustics which plays a huge part in discerning nuances. IME, McIntosh comp... | |
| Importance of clocking @antigrunge2 As you can see, you have two kinds of posters here. One that have tried and implemented an external clock to a greater benefit. And then those, who have been peddling their ideas based on ‘documentation’ i.e. no direct experience 🙄 | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @mdalton Thanks for sharing. I was considering Herbie’s Way Excellent II 4mm thick, 280mm (diameter). The 301 strobe platter is 11-3/4” which roughly translates to 279.4mm. Does your matt over hangs the platter? This is bit confusing as Herbie’s... | |
| Requesting opinions about 4 specific amplifiers “Maybe I am looking for a bit more midrange warmth? ” Consider Accuphase Integrated for that mid-range warmth. I have auditioned both Luxman (among others) and picked Accuphase E-650. 4 plus years of ownership and have no desire to upgrade except... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @mdalton Thank you for the endorsement on Herbie’s mat. I received a bare platter so I need to start somewhere; given reasonable cost of the Herbie’s mat, I said why not. I have bought Herbie’s products in the past and they offer good value and ... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @mdalton Thank you. I have used Gaia’s under my B&W 800D2..good stuff. @dover Thank you for chiming in….you have given me lot of insight to digest and I really appreciate it. For starters, I am considering a mat from Herbie’s that is mad... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @jperry How tedious it is to replace spindle once TT is fully assembled (still waiting on plinth). More specifically, will I need to flip the TT upside down? I am considering Classic HiFi updated oiled brass spindle. I’m also torn between the tw... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @fsonicsmith No worries, we all sharing what we know. And see, that would be a great book to own and read. Speaking of strobe light, I did find this option other day, https://keystrobe.co.uk/product/keystrobe-lightbeam-301/ My wish list ... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @dover You’re spot on about strobe platter surface..I just conducted a ceramic ball test and the ball rolled over towards the center of the platter from its top edge. This is a good piece of info as I was considering a copper mat down the road. ... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @fsonicsmith I am still learning about 301 and long ways from the finish line. Why my TT came with 401 strobe platter, no idea. I can ask but It’s not important since I never heard a 301 before with a regular platter. I am hoping to establish a ... | |
| Sound Quality “I am riding the WAV!” Enjoy the ride my friend! @mclinnguy Thank you for your recommendation. I bought the DSD256 download…loving the album and spine tingling hair SQ. |
