short update - sold the amps and speakers and coming close to my new music-system:
only the speakers must be built - short preview - this will be one of the drivers

garrard 301 (norma-hylee-tech 301 project)
Hello Baja!
Would you please describe, at yr. convenience, the merits of the Berlin-made Norma-Hylee arm and overhauling & tuning of yr. SUPERB 301?
Thanks in advance.

hi stefano,
yes, I will deliver a 'detailed' description later on - currently the whole system is very fresh, the speakers are still waiting and unfortunately I have a lack of time.
but in short, in comparison with my former wilson benesch turntable with a.c.t. 2 arm (btw I keep the same cartridge and phono pre) the impression of a somehow scrawny and always thin sonic gets lost and the garrard sounds more 'conscious'. although not everything is perfect yet, it makes my skin crawl from the first moment on.
you're right, it's a norma hylee tech performance that contains the full overhaul, the tonearm (last generation), a special built plinth (I've desired one in smaller size and a special wood) and extra plugs for power and interconnect wires.
it was a 'blind buy' - but honestly, the result is much more precious I've expected by a 'custom built' unit. technique and shape are 100% perfect - my tribute to nht!

Nope. All I'm getting are 'blanks' with the same message as before...
Do you need to be a member of the directupload.net site, and logged-in, to view these pictures? Try logging out of directupload.net and see if you can still view the pictures here.
If not, and I'm right, you'll need to use Photobucket or Imageshack, or something else along those lines.
