@kanchi647 Congrats on the PRW arm. An interesting choice. The 103r version has purer and lighter wire. It's a no- brainer. You might also look at the Zu version.

The 301/401 oil bearings are interchangeable. I'd check with Sien on specific compatibility to be certain. I think he has a video but it seems to be private. The bearing is taller so keep that in mind. With the platter removed, you just need to re...

Lionel Hampton And His Orchestra ‎– Hamp's Big Band (Audio Fidelity ‎1959 mono)Brilliant. Superb recording. Soaring dynamics. These last 4 or 5 records were in my Meh section. I played a few tracks years ago and they weren't great. However, after ...

King Curtis ‎- Soul Serenade (Capitol 1964)FDS recording is upfront with the sax in your face and added echo. But they forgot to bring the low end up in the mix. Great stuff.

Just get the SPH. However you should listen and understand the 301 sound with the original bearing first if you can. After a few weeks, swap the bearing. It’s a 15 minute job. Leave run for 6 hours. Then listen to your reference record. Be prepare...

Low hum from amp

I second @fsonicsmith comment about refurbishment. A full strip down and rebuild is the way to go. check out Matt Taylor of AudioGrail. On the slate vs wood... while I have 401s not 301s, my experience may be helpful. I found the slate to have a l...

@kanchi647 I have two Jim Campbell plinths. Slate and birch-ply. Both AudioGrail 401 tables. One early twin spark, the other later. Look at my system in my profile. Go with 12" tonearms. Make sure you replace the idler with an AudioSilente one and...

Need advice- installing expensive Atmos system in Florida
You mean an 11.2 Dolby Atmos Klipsch setup? Is that really what you want? So many speakers. Yeah, I think it will be okay for movies but might be too much without room treatments.
