I am also a plane ride away plus a slight delay at the border on a good day. .

I will run it bridged to a single channel, where it outputs 1600 Watts into 8 Ohms.

Dan, when you go big.........you go BIG!

you know what they say; power corrupts.....absolute power corrupts .....absolutely...
how does one know when one has become corrupt ?

when you call your dog, and he longer comes to you, and licks your face.
God only knows where that tongue has been.....

Here is hoping the new found bass does not upset the delicate room balance with the wife. Wait till she goes Christmas shopping to cue up Led Zep !

Enjoy...

Cheers Chris

Very nice work Dan .. you are very talented!
Jean Nantais believes higher mass will only improve the sonics of an idler. His designs focus on high solid mass which leave space around the critical turntable parts.
He calls it "a massive non-resonant structure with voids."

Hi Dan

...but with the usual strengths and weaknesses presented by the two different approaches to amplification.

I look forward to your impressions of both types of amplication.

as you know I like:
multiple amps
multiple speakers,
multiple rooms,
multiple kids,
multiple wiv.....wait sorry wrong forum :^(

heh heh

There are so many variables in a system especially with vinyl. Stuff happens.
Have heard of people selling of speakers and amps over connection issues.
imo - you were fortunate to find the problem and not go and sell off a component you enjoy.

Hillary hath arrived through snail mail yesterday. Will give her a listen this weekend.
Seasons Greetings and Merry Christmas to you.

Cheers Chris

Hi Dan - glad you liked the music.

for those on your thread here, a link to the sample tracks on Ed's website. I find they sound good through headphones or the laptop hooked to a system. Not sure how long Ed will have them on his site.

I am still waiting for the Hillary cd to show up. Look forward to listening to it. cheers chris.

how are you getting along with your B&W 800's?

Dan - have been enjoying the matrix 800(very room friendly), the WPK 57's, and with my wife gone for a few days :^) the model 3's on our main floor. I'd like to recommend some music to you. I will pm u. Cheers Chris

Hey Dan -

If anyone wishes to help the Devil along, or try to dissuade him, I welcome your thoughts.

Sometimes when you are forced to type out a number on a screen it helps one decide - either way.
So I will ask you.
How much do they cost and how long will they last ?

Cheers Chris

What cart did you have them do for you?

Hi Dan - My trusty Benz Micro MC3. I had plans on nuding it but SS strongly advised not to do this as it then becomes a beacon for microscopic crap floating in the air. Much of this dust is metallic particles. I found their comments interesting.

Cheers

Hi Dan
I find once I settle into a cartridge I tend to leave it alone for quite some time and listen to record after record. I received a retip back from SS two months ago and still have not listened to it yet. Maybe I am just lazy. But lots of summer travel in there too. As I type this now your post has made me think of switching. :^)

Good to see you enjoying the tunes. Hope you’re enjoying summer

Cheers Chris

Hi Dan, Pradeep

Another option to consider as well is inside damping of the existing platter along with bonding of the actual material instead of a mat to the platter top.

I can tell you that Jean Nantais after considerable experimentation went with a bonded Metacrylate mat on the table I own. It is one with the platter.

Is it possible for a rigid aftermarket mat to be fully flush with a platter ? We know that vinyl has its issues :^)

Just a couple more fun options for you to think about.

Cheers Chris

Just remember Dan

Once you glue-ee

There is no return-ee.

The Garrard 401 and DV501 look great Dan.
Your DV501 even has an armlift :^)
Cheers Chris

Hi Dan - great looking gear and room.
Is the room dedicated and or is their any WAF involved ?

Cheers Chris
