| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? @mdalton Thanks for sharing…that’s saying a lot about HM-7 cause Hana EH and Koetsu are two very different carts and in opposite extremes in terms of $$$ and performance. I guess your previous SUT was holding back Koetsu. Strange things happen ... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @noromance Sorry I missed your post. Spring base isolation and Stillpoints are next on my list. And I am gathering information on all the available bearings and then going to decide which one gets my $$$. As far Audio Grail plinth, I just don’t ... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @fsonicsmith All good suggestions…. there maybe options that might not require altering the flooring but could still offer some isolation from vibrations. I do have future plans to replace the carpet with wood flooring, may be at that time I cou... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project Update; Added Viablue spikes and TriBase to plinith (found them in my closet). Gain another 3dB in volume without further introducing any vibrations. I am now at volume where I can comfortably listen to the record’s. Now the big question, invest ... | |
| Technics SL 1200 GR @prashanth14485 What cart and phono you end up buying? | |
| Garrard 301 - Project “How does 301 at this point compare with the SME” @mdalton Too early to make any assessments cause 301 is not completely dialed in. But I do see myself enjoying 301, for a very long time. SME 15AV is a great sounding TT, much quieter and robust ... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project “Your problem though is one of isolation” @fsonicsmith I agree. I spent the weekend reconfiguring my system by switching out to a much heavier rack and pulled out couple of digital components that weren’t in the system due to limited rack space... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @mdalton I honestly don’t recall, I must have gone through half a dozen configuration. I can’t check again until everything is put back together, hopefully by tomorrow. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project “It is most likely caused by your stand and suspended floor” @noromance I suspect just as much. I am counting on my other rack which is roughly 3x in width and weight to provide better isolation. The plinth has a cavity / opening to accommodate ... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @lewm Sorry for being vague…the main issue is chassis vibrations. As I increase volume, the vibrations in plinth increases causing stylus to jump up or skip grooves. Day 1 was worse as even the footfalls were causing stylus to jump. After instal... | |
| Next step up on the streaming food chain? “His opinion changes to match his inventory.” @tony1954 Touché 😊 I don’t bother myself to read any of his posts. | |
| Can You Trust a Shipper? (UPS, Fed-Ex, etc) @awise1961 Insurance through FedEx and UPS is worthless. When it comes to paying up, they will do all possible to accept any responsibility. Your best insurance is packaging, pack well to the point that box can withstand 3 stories drop or pallet... | |
| Can You Trust a Shipper? (UPS, Fed-Ex, etc) With FedEx or UPS, do your due diligence and hope for the best. If you want extra care; pay bit more, palletize and ship it via FedEx Freight. High value content, opt for signature required. Even then, no guarantees. If you’re OCD about the shippi... | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? “What do I prefer? Accuracy” Accuracy in tonal balance, timbre, detail and imaging along with the lack of distortion, accurate transient response and dynamic capability. @mijostyn I think most people would agree with this. I don’t want to misc... | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? @lewm @mijostyn A strong choice or preference for a component in a system is only an indicator that component works well with rest of the components and to user liking. A manufacturer design their components to be universally acceptable in an a... |
