| SME release new Garrard 301 Update on SME/Garrard 301 | |
| SME release new Garrard 301 @audiofun Thanks for looking over the cave. I love the Decca. I have another Garrott Grey Export. Be interesting to hear the LDR on the other arms especially the Kuzma but all that is out of my willingness to spend that kind of money. It all goes ... | |
| High definition vs. tonal balance My understanding of it is like this: To perceive the most accurate quality of the reproduced music, it's necessary to successfully generate the correct harmonic structure - the primary tone plus as many of the original harmonics as possible. The p... | |
| SME release new Garrard 301 There are 2 things going on @fsonicsmith There is a friction brake on the inside of the 301/401 platter which stops the rotation as soon as the machine is turned off. At the same time, the idler is moved away from the pulley and rim.See here: http... | |
| Furutech fuse Has anyone tried miniature circuit breakers instead? | |
| SME release new Garrard 301 @fsonicsmith The idler does not rest on the inner platter rim. When in the Off position, the idler is pulled away from both the rim and the pulley. | |
| Furutech fuse @auxinput Noted. I'll burn them in on the other rig and try it again. | |
| What are important features in a listening chair Yes. Increasing volume reduced need to cup ears. Now my arms don't ache so much. | |
| Furutech fuse I heard that wax filled fuses sound good. So do fuses with a wrap of masking tape or PTFE. I'm going to try the latter. My guess is the fuse and/or fuse wire is oscillating at the power frequency due to its construction much like a guitar string. ... | |
| Furutech fuse @elizabeth Indeed. Me too. Years ago, I moved a turntable from a temp location on a concrete floor to a lovingly built oak table. The SQ deteriorated so badly it was horrific. Yet when I added granite underneath, it was almost back to where it wa... | |
| Furutech fuse @cleeds Jeez, I did not mean it literally. I used a simile to illustrate how I believe the product is overpriced. | |
| Furutech fuse I should have known that it would sound the way it did. Rhodium is like that. I have power cords with the same sonic signature but to a lesser extent than the fuse. Maybe their gold one would sound better in mine. The rhodium could certainly tip a... | |
| Furutech fuse @millercarbon I understand where you are comong from. "does not justify the price to me". I would rather hard wire the amp than spend $249 on a fuse. It’s just a principle thing for me. | |
| Furutech fuse Thanks. Everything makes an impact on sound. Mats, spikes, cones, wood of different types, brass, aluminum, cable, tubes, humidity, foam, dirty power, mood ... list is endless! And it's not always good. | |
| SME release new Garrard 301 If I ever do a new bearing housing, it'll be in a CTC 301 with 401 motor.I do have an AF idler and CTC platter which raise the performance by an order. Does the kokomo still indent the base of the shaft? |
