| Audiosilente idler wheel versus Artisan Fidelity idler wheel for a Garraed 401 @lewm I know what you meant. My point about the same speed was that the torque "compensated" for the load. That being the case, it's possible that rapid response time is unaffected by dynamic load like stylus drag or bearing friction. | |
| Audiosilente idler wheel versus Artisan Fidelity idler wheel for a Garraed 401 I also have the heavier CTC aluminum platter and did a speed check after fitting the AS, then the AF and then the CTC. amazingly, to me, the speed was the exact same each time. | |
| Audiosilente idler wheel versus Artisan Fidelity idler wheel for a Garraed 401 @lewm The lighter AS certainly has a light, airy, detailed sound to it which may reflect your point. The AF did sound ever so slightly weightier but not slower. | |
| Audiosilente idler wheel versus Artisan Fidelity idler wheel for a Garraed 401 I never got around to the AF review mostly because I wasn't blown away by the difference. Replacing the AS with the AF brought some additional weight and blackness to the soundscape - a good thing and worth the expense of $400 shipped.The AS gives... | |

| Dumped the rack The small problem is that the slate plinth is 2" thick and the Garrard is about 6" high so I have to raise the slate up on 1.5" x 3" slate feet. The plinth rests on three 3/4" aluminum cones which in turn sit on the slate feet. Would the Super Sti... | |
| If you had $1,400 , A TTable thing When your budget is $1400 to include cartridge, you can look at the Technics 1500 which comes with a cheap and cheerful $99 cartridge and stay in budget. Or you can SAVE for a little while longer and get my initial (and better) suggestion. | |

| Dumped the rack Thanks Geoff and slaw. I admit I've been avoiding the whole spring aspect of support as I do not have suspended floors etc. as the rig in on at least 3" concrete. So kindly tell me how to assemble a support using springs given I have a 60pound sla... | |
| Turntable cover Test it. Play the same track with it closed, at its default open angle, and removed. Let us know what sounds best. | |
| Phono preamp Yes. In my case, I agreed that the Mani was fine but with phono, you really have to spend a little more to get a lot better. Sideways moves are just that. |
