| Advice and recommendations needed for a turntable rig... Feichert Volare? A little above budget, but otherwise fits criteria of high mass design I think. I have no experience of it personally, but very highly regarded by people I tend to find credible. | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @stuartk indeed. songs and people. | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @stuartk Wow. The purpose was simply to share with another member a piece of music I love, and to see if you might love it as well. That’s all. I’d be a little surprised if you didn’t, but wouldn’t judge you. And of course it wouldn’t dimini... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @stuartk Please do me the following favor: put on “Bye Bye Blackbird” from “Round About Midnight”, listen to it with fresh ears, and please let us know what you think. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @pindac @noromance @fsonicsmith all interesting. My only experience is of Woodsong plinths. Didn’t realize, but apparently they combine birch ply, panzerholz, and slate, all in one design. (search for an Art Dudley piece from June 2016 descri... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @signaforce Nope, not when you put Krall in same sentence as Bach and Miles, lol! | |
| Garrard 301 - Project I’m obviously a big fan of idler drives, as I have a Thorens TD-124 in addition to my 401. I’ll give you a brief synopsis of my journey with the 401: - Purchased it on ebay from a UK seller; had it shipped directly to Woodsong Audio (Chris Harba... | |

| New streamer needed @stievus “on the bright side”!? Please explain to me how a streamer contributes to tone. That’s just silly talk. | |

| New streamer needed based on quick look at their website, doesn’t look like Metronome does wifi, so you should make sure. But also much more limited regarding high res sample rates, both pcm and dsd; only 192k and dsd64,vs 768k dsd256 for Volumio. | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @sokogear Totally agree re A Love Supreme. But love his lyrical stuff (e.g., My Favorite Things, Plays the Blues, Ballads, etc.), and love virtually everything he did with Miles - the contrast with the Miles “notes not played” approach was pret... | |
| New streamer needed 144 is plenty. And the Volumio seems like a great choice - I really love the look! | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love Phillips SACD 1000. Back in 2001, it was all the rage. Made the cover of Stereophile, lots of hyperbole. It originally sold for $2k, but all of a sudden I saw prices at $400, so had to do it. Well, turns out it suffered from a known flaw with ... | |
