| Woo AW22 1st Gen or 2nd Gen - Do they sound the same? Same build quality? @stringreen Thank you for your comment. The other amp that I might consider is the Cavalli Liquid Glass - but can't find too much info or personal reviews of owners.Thank you, | |

| Proac 2.5 Response tweeter upgrade with Ribbon Tweeter? Tannoys@twoleftears @atmasphere @jperry @archguyToday we auditioned the Tannoy Turnberry GF. Wow! My amp had no problem driving these speakers. Whilst the specs say that the bass only goes to 40Kz it was a much more musical and real. The sound st... | |

| Proac 2.5 Response tweeter upgrade with Ribbon Tweeter? @jperry Thank you for your comment.I love my Proac Response 2.5 speakers but would like a little more 'body' to the sound and deeper bass. I'm also very interested in the ribbon tweeters that are said to be much 'sweeter' and extending.Could you c... | |
| Audiosilente idler wheel versus Artisan Fidelity idler wheel for a Garraed 401 @noromance The idler spins freely and the platter takes 18 secs to completely stop.The 'whirring' is hardly audible and I can only hear it with the platter off with my ear a couple of inches away. Thx again, | |
| Audiosilente idler wheel versus Artisan Fidelity idler wheel for a Garraed 401 @noromance Thank you for your recommendaiton.The AS idler wheel arrived today. I have installed it and seems to make a slight 'whirr sound' but it sounds great. Especially. in the mid range. Also more dramatic/faster articulations/dynamics. I hav... | |

| Ground Loop Hum caused by hardwired AC MAINS FILTER - help needed @lak Hi,No, I haven't tried that. It makes me a little nervous to cut out the ground. But I guess I could try it. So, if the component with the two prong adaptor stops the hum, then I should try grounding it with another component instead? Is that... | |
| Ground Loop Hum caused by hardwired AC MAINS FILTER - help needed @erik_squires @lak I thought the hardwired filter may have been causing a problem.Today I had an electrician (lived close by) who popped by. He disconnected the filter/surge protector in the electrical box.I turned on all the audio but alas, it st... | |
| Audiosilente idler wheel versus Artisan Fidelity idler wheel for a Garraed 401 @dangcaonguyen @vetterone @lewm @noromance Thank you All,I have ordered the AS idler wheel with brass bushes.Simone (from AS) asked if I would like to order the brass bushes for the motor too.Any opinions?Thx again, | |
| Audiosilente idler wheel versus Artisan Fidelity idler wheel for a Garraed 401 @dangcaonguyen @vetterone @lewm I think that the machinist who made the idler said that he had reduced the 'pressure' between the wheel and the platter. He found that this allowed more dynamics. I guess the platter was not so 'rigid' in its latera... | |
| Audiosilente idler wheel versus Artisan Fidelity idler wheel for a Garraed 401 Thank you all for your comments.Can anyone conform that the dynamics improved with either the AS or AF?I remember when I heard a Garrard 301 where the owner had machined their own idler wheel. It was one piece and he commented that the wheel was e... | |
| Ground Loop Hum caused by hardwired AC MAINS FILTER - help needed Hello @lak Thank you for your reply.I was wondering if it has the potential to cause a ground loop. I remember reading sometime ago that if the earthing of the unit was done a certain way, then a ground loop could be formed.Thx, |
