Description

Simple,...Just rebuilt the Garrard 301 oil, from my Dad, he bought it from Singapore in 1966. This Garrard is a gem. Remind me of my Chevy Impala 64 project. Amazing result, I was shocked. Well I am not alone on this road. Its getting cheaper for the money but the sound is just getting better. After all I have decided plywood and Triplanar arm combo. The DIY plinth was built with balance and not over kill the sound of Garrard, was set for 7 layers of plywood but end up with 6. Thanks for all the guys from Vinyl Engine, Analog Dept.....well my next step would be the Loricraft PRC 4 and Audio Note Ongaku. Enjoy.
