| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 I've been working on my 301 project for over a year and like most people it's more about the project than whether this is the greatest turntable known to mankind. My 301 sounds wonderful but most importantly it looks great. I used mahogany stained... | |
| Considering analog...but nervous I can't believe some of these responses. If this was a wine appreciation site you would basically have people telling you to stick with safe easy wine made by the big brands - don't try that Grand cru burgundy sir you may have a bad bottle lets pl... | |
| Leben RS-30EQ phono stage I have one in my system with a Bent audio step up. I plan to get a London decca so then i will be able to comment on its performance sans step up but i am very happy as is. Having said that I had an Allnic 1500 in my system for a few days and did ... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths just spent an interesting hour or two with the cabinet maker who is going to do my garrard plinth. we have sort of decided on a solid mahogany plinth he has a cnc machine so we may do it out of two solid blocks (the drill bit is a restriction on h... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths thanks mike for that info i was just guessing (and by the look of my posts spelling badly) re the dobbins. its nice to know that someone has experimented with arm boards attached or not. when you are doing it as a project it really is a once off a... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths sorry one other point the shindo plinth for the garrard is from cherry wood which i think was chosen more for its significance to japanese customers rather than some intrinsic quality of the wood. i looked up the density of cherry and it sits in t... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Lewmsome arm boards on the Cain and Cain version for example are actually not attached to the plinth on which the table is found but to what i gues you could call the sub plinth. also i have seen people who have drilled a hole (in both slate and w... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths i notice that albert has the armboards attached to the plinth but other designs have them seperate. what are your feelings on this? have you experimented? | |
| Garrard 301 project arm cartridge compatibility I've looked at the schick but it doesn't really pull my trigger. also there is quite a waiting period and i feel i must have the arm before i build the plinth. the sme 3012 Rg certainly looks the blingy part but something tells me its cost a wee b... | |
| Add Bob Devices CineMag SUT to EAR834P Deluxe I concur with those who say change from the EAR. It was my first phono stage and it was adequate without excitement - someone mentions turning details to mush (maybe an upgrade/ mod may help). since then i have i've been through a few phono stages... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? I have apogee centaur minors and drive it with Krell KSA 80. i have an audio note pre amp so i think i have the right blend of tubes and power. i then went and bought a pair of Krell KMA 160's (the mono blocks) but still haven't tried it out due t... | |
| difficulty finding CD player match for Magneplanar I second philjolet and doug by the way its not just watts but also the current drive of the amp. my krells are ksa 80's (80 WATTS) and the double all the way down to over 1000 watts at 1 OHM so yes they can drive maggies and apogees. | |
| difficulty finding CD player match for Magneplanar just type in Maggies in any forum you care to name on the net and you will find people praising the moment they went for more power with maggies. frankly your calculations are meaningless i have apogees, at first i only had a small naim 40W unit. ... | |
| OPPO 83 and Benchmark DAC 1 so would i. this player if it can be modded to a decent level ie better or equal to benchmark dac on redbook can be a unique one player solution. | |
| To mod or not to mod, dac is the question I also have a oppo bdp 83 and am wondering about whether to mod or go the dac route. firstly this is to be used in my second system so it will do video as well as audio duties but only in stereo. i already own a benchmark dac so could use this but... |
