I didn't watch the video, but I own a Garrard 301 in a Windsong plinth with an Ikeda tonearm. Based on that, I think the turntable in the video probably sounds very good, and IMO would be an excellent choice.
The most expensive parts of my modified Garrard were not the plinth, although it wasn't inexpensive.
