The table, assuming it has been properly reconditioned, is suitable for the finest systems. I know a dealer who recommends that table for systems deep into six figures. He loses a lot of money by NOT selling exotic modern tables, but he likes the Garrard, Thorens, and Lenco idlers. You should use whatever you can afford; that table will be suitable.
Garrard 301 tonearm build...thoughts?
Hi all, the Garrard 301 is ready for set-up...just need to build out the tonearm. With cost in mind, I’ve come up with the below plan...think this will work out ok?
1. Arm: Denon DA-308 (fits budget and love the Ortofon 309-ish look)
2. Headshell: Denon PCL 7
3. Cartridge: Audio Technica AT 33Sa MC
4. MC Step-up transformer: AT-650
TIA Mike
