| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @sns Well said! I agree that galvanic isolation is essential and should be intrinsically baked into any serious DAC or streamer these days. Ground contamination and timing errors have a way of creeping in subtly, and you’re spot on; the higher t... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @noromance My room is a bonus room, it’s not acoustically perfect but the dimensions offer a lot to work with. The 15’ depth and 30’ width give me some flexibility for speaker placement and optimal listening spot. The 8’ ceiling is standard due ... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @aricaudio Aric, thank you for reaching out. I appreciate your willingness to reconnect. I’ve made peace with the experience and don’t feel it’s worthwhile to revisit or invest further into it. I trust you’ll understand and I wish you continued ... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @noromance I’d prefer not to go into all the details publicly, but let’s just say my personal experience left me with enough hesitation that I’ve decided to steer clear moving forward. I know others have had great experiences but for my part, I’... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @noromance Based on my experience, I won’t be buying anything from Aric Audio (new or used). | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @noromance Totally hear you and I appreciate the feedback. On surface, the Softone Model 4 may appear to be weakest link given rest of the components in the analog chain but Model 4 phono turned out to be pretty darn good and wonderfully engagin... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @macg19 I placed my order of Model 4 phono, delivery estimate end of June. I am looking at some alternatives to Telefunken 12AX7 NOS to try it out. Do you or anyone else here tried Amperex Bugle Boy - ECC83 (Holland) or Tungsram (Hungry) in a ph... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @noromance Thanks…Joe Williams shares some stylistic elements with Nat King Cole. Another personal favorite of mine is Johnny Hartman…there’s not a lot of recorded material, but what exists is pure gold. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project How about Count Basie…my personal favorites, 88 Basie Street and Farmer’s Market Barbecue. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project “Ben Meets Oscar Peterson, Ben Meets Gerry Mulligan, and Coleman Hawkins Encounters” @mdalton These albums are must own in any collection and they’re my favorites too. I would like to add another one to the list - Art Tatum; Ben Webster The... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project “Tele ECC803S which is never under $700” @noromance They cost twice as much as my phono stage….yikes!! | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @mdalton Congratulations on your fine purchase. I did look into MJ Acoustics before buying REL’s. I do like their high quality build and bespoke veneer finishes. My experience with Tannoy’s super tweeters is nothing but positive. They have add... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes “I am gonna have to disagree on this one” @mdalton I get where you’re coming from and comparison to Ptolemy’s geocentric model is a good analogy. I’m all for theory-based approaches, and I think skepticism is healthy, especially when people sta... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes @devinplombier I appreciate your kind words on my system. NADAC stack is indeed a very ‘special’ product. It’s a shame that they didn’t gain much traction in US market. Thank you for your thoughtful response. Agreed, our ears are limited to p... | |
| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes “Router, switches, Ethernet cabling and the like should have zero effect on sound quality“ @devinplombier You’re absolutely right from a purely technical and engineering standpoint. However, many experienced listeners here reported audible diffe... |
