| Garrard 301 - Project 301 restoration I’ve attached a link to the standard steps Woodsong Audio follows for their restorations. That and their plinth is what I have for my 401. I also have the 401 on a wall-mounted cabinet. No feedback or noise - but also no subwoo... | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated @mesch Yes, though couple points. $1000 20+ years ago is $1800 in today’s dollars, and $750 Canadian is $573 U.S. I agree though that if OP interested he might want to offer less. I still have my old Complete, though it’s boxed and in storage... | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated Audio Refinement Complete - a little old now, but definitely on warm side, and beautiful aesthetic. https://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/650131494-yba-audio-refinement-complete/ | |

| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? @lalitk a little more time with the new SUT today. not just more dynamic - more of everything. I was missing out on a lot of Koetsu magic previously. Very cool. Looking forward to hearing about your experience. | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? haha! I prefer to think of my stuff as Lamborghini blue (though technically it’s “traffic blue”, which is RAL code #5017). But among their colors, I might go with Republica (white). would look very cool. | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? @lalitk haven’t heard the brand yet myself, but they’re on my list if/when I ever replace the synthesis ensemble in my big rig. recently spent time with a dealer in NC - Ember Audio - who believes their stuff competes with any other tube gear u... | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? oops again! I swear I’m not day-drinking, I forgot to say brand: Fezz Audio. To add to @lewm list, Graham Slee and Rothwell also make pretty inexpensive head amp, btw. | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? oops, “side” not “dude”! | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? @lalitk Just for one, not particularly expensive example, I believe the MC dude of their phono stages are active gain designs. Interestingly though, they just announce a new, separate SUT - the Argentum. Haven’t seen any reviews yet, but very ... | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? @lalitk dealer I worked with on Swissonor - Constantin at Atelier 13 - carries Sculpture as well. | |
| FEZZ audio lol! You realize that in some circles Mother Theresa is a somewhat controversial figure. Anyway, here’s a review that includes a brief description of the circuit by the manufacturer: Titania review | |
| FEZZ audio I know Jeremy @ Aural Hifi - good guy. I also know 3 other reputable dealers, 2 in Northern virginia, one in north carolina, who carry the brand and think very highly of it. | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? @lalitk what’s eta of your etsuro? | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? @lalitk nope. have gotten instructions, and pretty easy to change. May wait until it’s burned in a bit before I experiment. |
