| Garrard 301 - Project @noromance Indeed you did and I ordered the NOS Telefunken based on your initial suggestion but then I completely forgot about them….lol! @macg19 post reminded me that I had NOS Telefunken’s sitting in my closet. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @macg19 You’re welcome! Sorry to hear about the issue with left channel, hopefully you can get it repair easily. I really appreciate your feedback on tube rolling, I am still using stock JJ’s …the phono is now fully “broken-in” and I’m really en... | |
| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? @mulveling A# you know, Canterbury has that rich, tactile mid-bass and midrange that make it one of the most emotionally satisfying experience. IME, when a sub or pair of subs integrated carefully like my REL’s; they flesh out the much needed fo... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? ⬆️ It makes sense not to chase a specialized phono stage for just one anomaly, especially when the rest of your collection sounds great through RIAA. Thanks for your participation! | |
| Tin Pan Alley and Thanks to You- which speakers play the tap on the snares the best? It’s just not the speakers, it’s sum of all parts. To highlight the tap on the snares—those crisp, delicate transients and subtle microdynamics—you’ll want speakers that excel in speed, resolution and transient accuracy. My Tannoy Canterbury’s w... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? “I don’t understand exactly what you are after” @lewm Let me try to clarify. You described how your UK EMI mono pressings of Ella & Louis sound “off” with RIAA EQ, while the US originals sound wonderful. I was just curious: have you ever ... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? “I’d say that in this case, everything hinges on the design and sound quality” @goofyfoot Exactly, the value of a two channel mono phono preamp comes down to design execution, sonic character, how it complements my system’s voicing and not some... | |
| 2025 Audio System Wish List Time! @zavato Congratulations on scoring a vintage TD124. I went back n forth between TD124 and Garrard 301….end with 301. Both great TT’s and while restoration can be PIA, the end result is well worth it. I am really enjoying tweaking my 301 to nth d... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? ”what I find perplexing about the original post is the idea of using a mono cartridge and a mono phono stage. So would you use two different mono phono stages ( left & right) with a stereo cartridge? ” @goofyfoot My original post is about a... | |
| Integrated that blew you away @gochurchgo Accuphase gear—especially their Class A amplifiers—often gets described as “dark” because of its tonal balance: smooth, slightly laid-back treble, rich mids, and a non-aggressive presentation. But “dark” can mean different things dep... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? “Oh, don’t tell me about that $20 repress you bought that was mastered from a dubiously disclosed source mastered and pressed who knows where! ” @faustuss This reminds me of someone like disheveled, bitter audiophile in a dusty record store, sid... | |
| Integrated that blew you away Accuphase E-650 - Class A, 30W. The newer version is E-700. In a right setup (like mine, paired with Tannoy’s Canterbury) you’re treated with refined, organic and effortless presentation. Accuphase sound is about graceful precision, where everythi... | |

| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? To @dwette @elliottbnewcombjr point, if you are going through the trouble of maintaining analog setup, buying mono vinyl, then why settle for stereo cart with mono switch. That’s like investing in a classic car, detailing it every weekend, the... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? @elliottbnewcombjr Thanks for taking the time to research and your recommendations. I am less likely to consider a used cart at this juncture of my analog journey. I don’t want to 2nd guess the condition or setup of my analog chain. |
