    Recently added:
    *Vintage Lancer L55 speakers. Mcintosh 1700 Receiver- Empire 208.

    Choosing between the Empire Troubador 208 and the Garrard 301 can depend on various factors such as personal preference, the specific setup, and the condition of the turntables. Both are highly regarded in the world of vintage audio equipment.

    The Garrard 301 is often celebrated for its quality and durability, and it’s considered one of the best British turntables1It’s known for its solid sound and thunderous bass, providing a drive that many enthusiasts appreciate2.

    On the other hand, the Empire Troubador 208 is also a respected model, and while it may not be as frequently mentioned as the Garrard 301, it still holds a place among quality vintage turntables. The Empire models are noted for requiring less work in terms of restoration compared to idler-driven turntables like the Garrard3.
