Lenco 75 versus Garrard 301?

Re: the Schroeder reference and 4yanx's comments, I haven't even laid eyes on one, let alone heard one, but it IS worth noting that Schroeder uses a Garrard 301 as his reference table so in fact it should work extremely well with the Garrard or the Lenco. Having said that, I agree with 4yanx that arms of that cost are not necessary to get great sound from these tables. My replinthed Lenco 75 with OL Rega RB-250 and Shure V15VxMR sounds better than my Linn LP12 with DIY crystal controlled power supply and identical arm/cartridge, and I preferred the OL arm to the Ittok that the Linn originally came with.

As noted in another post, Albert Porter raved about the sound of his replinthed Lenco and Decca arm (a real budget item but reportedly very musical) compared to his 50 times more expensive Walker turntable/arm and high end cartridge.

Unfortunately, Albert's posts were in the now deleted Audiogon thread. If you check on the Home Despot II thread there is a link to someone who saved the thread but there are over 3500 posts to the entire thread so that's a lot of reading. Since his posts I believe that he has sold his Lenco, as it is not listed in his virtual system.
