| Garrard 301 - Project PS. @noromance the Aric does look really interesting. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @lalitk I forgot - the Mullard’s are marked 12AX7 not any of the variants suggested. @lewm Brent Jesse has various Amperex/BB available, yes they are expensive but I trust him in terms of authenticity. I disagree on the value proposition thoug... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project I have not tried the bugle boy or tungsram but I might try and get a pair of the Bugle Boy’s or Some nice Brimar’s. The Mullard’s I have are 1950s halo getter long plates. I put them back in my DAC after listening to the Sovtek LPS for a few day... | |
| Bluesound node confusion +1 @ghdprentice That's a NODE N130, $349. Get that. I've got mine playing through some pretty nice gear and it sounds great. You can always add a better DAC later. Also for later, an LPS is a great upgrade but the LHY LPS is a better deal and t... | |
| Feedback on Costco & Amazon sound absorption panels from folks who have purchased them. @mitch2 thanks for the DIY link Timely thread as I’m also considering adding additional room treatments. I do not have any experience with Costco or Amazon vendors, only GIK - I have their 10" thick Sound blocks behind the speakers and wall dif... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project I dont, but randomly, it was the first album I streamed today after you mentioned Ben - I’ve never listened to it before. Very nice indeed. Listening to Kenny Burrell Midnight Blue atm. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project Enjoy! | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @noromance Lalit - funny, I was literally just wondering how you were getting along with the tele's. Also Ben Webster was one of my go-to's for testing the Softone. Glad you like the tele's. I had a chance to warm up and test the Sovtek LPS vari... | |
| Why most $3000 and lower DAC’s sound almost identical Interesting…I recently watched a review of the LAB 12 reference NOS Tube DAC and was intrigued. | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes Why can’t we just be happy that we get high quality music files from an almost unlimited library delivered intact, so that we can use whatever streamer and DAC sounds best to us? Perhaps video is a good analogy… We all get the same data from App... | |
| ??? How Do You Determine How Far You Can Take An Amp When Choosing Speakers ??? I suggest something like some vintage tannoy’s with the 12 or 15 inch concentrics (monitor gold) that maybe need a bit of work. High efficiency, amazing sound especially the bass response. @mulveling may have some advice here if that is of inter... | |
| Why most $3000 and lower DAC’s sound almost identical I can’t comment on the OP’s premise in terms of technology and methodology but I’m not in agreement that arbitrary price points matter. As an example, I recently listened to a $300k Nagra system with Wilson speakers - I think the DAC is almost $... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project Cool, let us know what you think of the Tele’s. my cart is MSL Signature Platinum, TT is Clearaudio Innovation with Universal arm Ive order a pair of the Sovtek LPS so I can compare with the stock set up | |
| Garrard 301 - Project I bought a used Softone Model 4 last week. It easily bests my GoldNote PH-10 with PS-10 LPS. I’ve rolled NOS Mullard, Telefunken Diamond Mark, RCA 6201, and GE, as well as some Gold Lion reissues that came with it. I prefer the tele’s in the pho... | |
| How much do I need to spend to make vinyl sound better than digital? @lalitk thanks and agree with you on the solid advice from @sns |
