Laser may have gone bad, everything has shelf life. You can buy RCD-1072 laser assembly for under $40 delivered from AliExpress.   
Garrard 301 - Project
@mdalton, @fsonicsmith, @noromance  Thank you for the great insight on your journey and for sharing your collective experiences with Garrard 301 / 401. This is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping to read! I did initiate the purchase of a Ga... 
Not enough outlets
I have owned many AE power cords and never had this issue. I do know, they fit snugly on top of each other. Try again, if you can’t then use AE quad power strip or try a different duplex.  
New Network Acoustics Tempus switch
@fastfreight  Agreed with your assessment and direct experience with Network Switches and Filters.   
Garrard 301 - Project
Jim @jperry  Thank you for your recommendation on PS. I am familiar with your fine system and may have conversed with you in the past. How about this for coincidence, I used to own SME 15AV with Hana Umami Red cart 😊  
Tidal lowers its monthly fee
This is indeed a welcome change. Now I can afford both Qobuz and Tidal 😊  
Small factor phono stage
@mdrone Ahead of a tube amplifier, try Zphono XRM. I was quite amazed by this little jewel performance.  https://parasound.com/zphono_xrm.php

Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming?
@nyev  My digital streaming further improved and stabilized by using a high quality 50FT CAT8 LAN (LinkUp from Amazon) between my Infinity Modem ➡️ SoTM iSO-CAT7 ➡️ Telegartner switch. The LinkUp cable replaced a pair of mesh network pods. I have... 
Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming?
@nyev  I can’t wait to hear your impressions after Network Acoustics goodies are in place. I’ve read nothing high praises for Tempus switch and Muon Pro. I had ENO in my system many moons ago before switching to Telegartner Gold 12 Switch + JCAT ... 
Effect of Internet Service Quality on Streaming?
@nyev I would try Muon Pro filter between your Innuous switch and Streamer. Comes with 30days money back guarantee.  
Benchmark AHB2 in Mono Block Configuration
@jfrmusic Checkout @arafiq system. He has extensive experience with Harbeth’s. He is using Vitus SS amp. Maybe he can chime in to share his experience with Vitus. And S510’s are on another level than T/5X subs :-)  
Benchmark AHB2 in Mono Block Configuration
@jfrmusic  I glanced at Harbeth C7es-XD specs, doesn’t look like they need whole lot of watts to drive them. I think you will get much better result with adding dual subs (like REL S510’s) over mono blocks.   
When feeding a DAC Hi-Res files, DSD128, 256, 512, PCM 32/768, etc are NOS DACs prefered?
“Why oversample files that are already Hi-Res?” Some folks get a kick out of it…nothing else sound as natural as original resolution. Instead of over sampling, focus on getting the best version out there, regardless of its resolution. I have 16bi... 
Aurender Model Choices
“do i need an expensive cable” @jfrmusic  Simple answer is NO. Keep in mind, you are dealing with a sine wave that is easily susceptible to noise and jitter. Start with a generic 75 ohms cable and you may or may not appreciate any improvements o...
