Garrard 301 tonearm build...thoughts?

@noromance appreciate that! I didn’t research the Jelco arms, but hear great things. Do you run MC or MM?  Thanks for pointing me in a direction that you’ve had success with on your 401. Happy Holidays!

@heightsmike  This is what you need. I run 3 of them on Garrard 401.

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.

What IS the cost of those chosen components?  If one knew that, then one might suggest options that don't exceed your budget. I personally find the ensemble to be suitably vintage to match the 301 but not perhaps the best with respect to sound quality, whatever "the best" is.
