| Does anything better Jelco arm ~$1000 @gpdavis1 I use the 850L and it’s very good. I have heard the Sorane ZA12 at $2500 and it is excellent. But now you are up there. You could also check out the Groovemaster ll at around $1850. These arms are best with low compliance cartridges.What... | |
| Well Tempered Labs Record Player, thoughts on a used one? So well worth the asking price. An opera singer friend swapped his LP12 for a WT when they came out. WT had less detail, greyer background, huge soundstage and very lush full sound. | |
| NOS tube alternatives for Herron VTSP 3A r02 Buy the "NOS" and the Herron set, as you outlined above, and listen and compare. It'll be fun and it's what you need to do. | |
| Platter wobble They've dropped the price by two bucks to $28 with free shipping! | |
| SME release new Garrard 301 That's my point. Most of those you mention are not here, nor are they buying hundreds of units from the current refurbishing companies it would seem from the turnaround and length of time they take to sell. So who are these prospective buyers of t... | |
| SME release new Garrard 301 I suppose SME are taking the 'if we can fool some of the people some of the time' route in marketing this little earner. | |
| SME release new Garrard 301 So Herb is being a little coy...but it looks like it is a Loricraft-style hollow plinth with squishy ball suspension. Still uncertain as to whether it is new manufacture or refurb. | |
| SME release new Garrard 301 I know. It's also looking likely that this "new" 301 is in fact, a Loricraft restore and not a newly engineered table. Will update when I hear more. | |
| Cambridge Audio Azur 740a paired with Dali Oberon 5's Nice room. Beginners are always obsessed with watts. If it sounds okay, it’s fine. Don’t push it to the point where the speakers sound ’uncomfortable’. Remember you need ten times the power to double the volume level to your ears. 100w amp should ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Eddie Kirkland - It’s the Blues Man! (1961)Goat - CommuneNewer that sounds great up loud. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? T.J. Fowler - Early Detroit R&B (1989)Poor sound like they’re in a dingy restroom but the music is great.Little Charlie and the Nightcats - Disturbing the Peace (1988)Magnificent, blows SRV into the weeds. | |
| Platter wobble You could buy one on eBay for $30 or buy the whole table for $75 | |
| SME release new Garrard 301 @jperry Loricraft made a 601 - a lesser 501 with speed control. Not sure if they make it still. | |
| Besides Aja and zeppelin pressings, what others are demo level recordings? +1 for recording and engineering over pressing quality any day. Although it's nice to have both.Listening to an old mono Decca recording of Debut by Marcy Lutes from 1956 and it's so real. | |
| Would an Isolation TT platform further improve my TT? I have always found that the more rigid the support, the tighter, more incisive and clearer the sound. Damping of the support by using wood or "absorbers" softens the sound. Marble and glass sounds etched while oak sounds warm etc. I'm old school... |
