| Garrard 301 - Project @fsonicsmith Thank you so much for taking the time to chime in. This is exactly what I was hoping to hear from someone who has a deep understanding of Garrard. The turntable and tonearm was professionally installed by my dealer. We went whole n... | |
| Fiber or Eithenet “I guess I’m asking if I should convert to fiber at my switch next to my router, run 50 feet of fiber and convert to ethernet just in front of my DAC or run 50’ of ethernet and convert to fiber and then back to ethernet just in front of my DAC.” ... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @mdalton From what I can see, Audio Grail rebuilt is on par with Woodsong. I think the biggest differentiator between your 401 is high quality plinth + feet and then wall mounting + no subs. The way I see my options moving forward; order another... | |
| Fiber or Eithenet For 50FT run, Linkup cable would be more than adequate for your application. | |
| Fiber or Eithenet I recommend Linkup CAT 8 - 26AWG from your router to SGC. Send a message to manufacturer through Amazon for custom length. https://a.co/d/cmi1QmN | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @lewm I hear you..sourcing a good plinth wouldn’t be easy as the two outlets I know of wouldn’t sell plinth by itself. I may have to look for alternative TT while I work towards perfecting the 301. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @noromance @jperry @mdalton @fsonicsmith 301 is up and running for past 6 days. It does sound pretty darn good with $15K tonearm/cart combo. Love the classic industrial appearance. I am still getting acclimated with its strengths and flaws in st... | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? “I’m guessing your feedback was well into audible spectrum” @mulveling Yes, it was to the point that I couldn’t listen through Allnic as it lacks subsonic filter. I went back to phono board in my Accuphase Integrated, which is pretty darn good ... | |
| Lyra versus Hana IMHO, there are no absolutes in audio as there are no two systems alike and then there are personal preferences. I have owned both Hana ML and Umami Red. And now own Etsuro Bordeaux. Since all carts made by Excel Sound, they share many of the same... | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread Welcome back Bill! Hope to learn about changes in your system at your convenience! | |
| Solo streamer @rvpiano I concur with @audphile1 advise. All you need a well constructed USB cable. Both DH Labs or Zavfino are reasonably priced and good bang for the buck! If you choose to get one of these cables, just plugged it in and continuing listenin... | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? Update: Feedback issue resolved by placing IsoAcoustics Iso-Puck Series Acoustic Isolators (Iso-Puck Mini, 6 lbs max/Unit, 8-Pack) x 2. These little ‘pucks’ absorbing all the energy being transmitted from TT to my rack and beyond and vice versa.... | |
| Check This Out! @steinedm1 I really appreciate you for taking the time to chime in. I have heard nothing but positive feedback from folks that were fortunate to audition this DAC and end up buying it. BTW, you have a beautiful system, ever since I’ve heard Alsy... | |
| Next step up on the streaming food chain? @zavato I hear you, outside ROON; the UI App should be a top priority in selecting your next streamer. And no one else does it better than Aurender and Innuos (2nd best) in terms of App performance and build quality. I found Aurender’s Conducto... | |
| Next step up on the streaming food chain? @zavato Since you own a Bricasti DAC, have you considered their M5 Network Player? Outside ROON, take a look at Aurender N200 or N20 (only if you prefer using AES over USB). |
