| Aural Thrill phono stage Looks like they use lite.com LS70/LS7A circuit boards from China DIY supplies and fill them with good quality parts. Not necessarily a bad thing... | |
| Arm interconnects choice??? I’ve only use the Jelco JAC501 for my tonearms. It’s inexpensive and it sounds very good. It’s neutral, transparent and extremely revealing to the tiniest of system changes. I have tried others that were nearly 3x the price and this was far better... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ I wonder if it uses the same crushed quartz as the DR Acoustics Antigone. | |

| Audiosilente idler wheel versus Artisan Fidelity idler wheel for a Garraed 401 If you know how to take the motor apart to lube the lower bearing, it can’t hurt having a replacement bearing on hand. If the table is used and new to you, figure on doing the above as a matter of essential maintenance. The most difficult and real... | |
| Audiosilente idler wheel versus Artisan Fidelity idler wheel for a Garraed 401 If the idler wheel is normally say 2" in diameter, and there is no allowance for the idler to move closer to the platter if it is reduced in diameter by say one millimeter, it will exert less force on the inner platter contact point.What effect do... | |
| Audiosilente idler wheel versus Artisan Fidelity idler wheel for a Garraed 401 The AF idler is currently sold out. I had to wait 4 months or so IIRC when I bought mine. OP, get the AS, you won’t be disappointed. | |
| Audiosilente idler wheel versus Artisan Fidelity idler wheel for a Garraed 401 Notwithstanding, the primary objective is to see if it sounds better. It does for me, so I'm not too concerned. Thanks Lew. | |
| 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... | |

| Static buildup issue? Interesting and disconcerting at the same time. So much RF type pollution. | |
