Rubberized 301!

Postby stereophile » Wed Mar 05, 2008 11:50 pm

Here is the world's first SOLID RUBBER PLINTHED 301 :!: + SME 312 tonearm + Koetsu Rosewood Platinum = Super Musical 301 :!: 8)

You've gotta hear what this baby can dish out. Simply unbelievable sonics. The big bass you associate with a Garrard, yet with midrange delicacy and dynamics of a modern ttable. Best of both worlds. I kid you not, this is one shocking performer.

Haven't figured out yet what nickname to call it :!: :wink:

Belongs to a friend of mine. Was invited over this evening to assemble it and set the cart & tonearm. Tonya was in attendance. Laglag our panga when we heard it sing :!: :shock:

The plinth is a one-off custom rubber plinth. One of those "What if..." situations. I am happy to report, it exceeded our expectations :!: :D

The SME tonearm is locally distributed by RHYTHM SECTION.

Paul- No idea. It's a custom formulation. The rubber plinth consists of rubbers of DIFFERENT hardness. If you are in town, tell me. Let's sked a session in my friend's house. You won't believe what this 301 can do. I was shocked. :wink:

Do- Thanks. I have other concepts I'd like to pull-off. For now, I'm extremely happy this test bed exceeded all our expectations. It's R&D time. Will fine-tune this plinth. Will have to try one out in my system. It's kinda fun...PLINTH ROLLING :!: :wink:

Ric- The owner, Tonya and I were eager to find out how it sounded. I had just finished setting the cart/tonearm. We put on a re-issue of Nat King Cole's LOVE IS THE THING... :shock: DANG :!: His image became focused and precise. Tonality balanced out from the previous midrange bloat. The bottom end became HUGE and tight. You should hear Almeida's Feel So Good from NEW DIRECTIONS LP. The drum playing was stupendous as was HOT STIX. I still haven't gotten over what I heard. :wink:

Kagulo rin si Tonya...remember, he also owns a flinstone 301 & woody 401. All three of us own Garrard 301s. This rubber plinthed 301 was simply awesome. :shock: It's gonna be tough choosing what plinth to build your 301 with. :wink:
