Claire sent me -- or, more correctly, my daughter -- a pony turntable mat to introduce her to the joy that is analogue.

Seems to be a bit of a gateway drug, this pony mat. She wants to play vinyl now.

Just a quick snapshot in abysmal lighting.

First pic I've seen to inspire real envy.
 
It's an original P9, bought new about 20 years ago. The cartridge is a DV XX-2 MkII.

The pony is Fluttershy.

I've had a Chord QBD76HDSD in my system for a fair while now, currently being fed by a Melco N1Z HD player. When DAVE came out I was very keen to hear it -

...but despite trying it twice, and for a few days each time, in my system, although it did lots of admirable things in terms of extra detail and a remarkable airiness, it lacked the enjoyable music that I get from the QBD. I thought It'd be interesting try some of the other Chord DACs, having been told by others that they all had a better FPGA than my ancient old QBD machine. A friend kindly lent me his Hugo for a couple of weeks -

...and I was immediately impressed. It's got lots of drive and life, a different sound to the QBD but equally enjoyable. Quite remarkable! I finally thought I should try the Hugo TT, and this currently resides in my system -


I've taken advice about the output level, and although it's only been here for a couple of days my initial impression is that it's a smoother version of the Hugo. Very relaxing to listen to, maybe a little too polite, but I shall give it a few days' listening before drawing a conclusion. I haven't bothered with the other Chords because folk whose opinions I trust tell me they're not quite as good as the Hugo.

Do you use a special filter on your camera to enhance dust and finger marks Tony? :) only Joking..... yours is a mighty fine set up. Always a pleasure to see it,
 
Having a 401, the 301 is becoming an itch to scratch:)
How would you compare both in your opinion Mark?

Thanks
Sazali

301's more rhythmic (the (grey ?)grease has a more powerful motor) than both cream 301 and 401, but the 401 is more refined. I'm lucky to have both but if I were to keep only one for sonic reasons it'd be 401.

Apart from looks, there's really very little in it though:cool:
 
@Darren: Yes, but not anoying like many other "Highend" speaker and always with the right power at different loudness.
