alternative power supply for Garrard 301

I have just acquired a refurbished Garrard 301. Intend to pair it with a 8 layered marine ply or baltic plinth ,or preferably a double layered slate plinth ( if I can find 2 pieces of 50mm slate slab). Tonearm will probably be 12" Reed 2P on a separate platform and matched with Miyajima shilabe. The only issue I have now is separate power supply. Off course I can always buy a Loricraft PSU 301 AR for GBP2500. Beside Loricraft PSU, I read about Wave Mechanics by
Martin Bastins used with Nottingham turntable but its seems a higher powered unit can be use for Garrard. However cant seems to find a source for it. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated

Gilles, Do you know the cost of that Sound Carrier controller? I am not certain why you refer to it as "American". It seems to be manufactured in the Czech Republic. Thanks for mentioning it here.

Sound Carrier is based in Zagreb, and hence is Croatian. Looks like the price on the Universal TT PS is 720 euro. There's a price list if you dig through the site a bit.

Thanks for info on the Sound Carrier everyone. Looks very interesting and the price is right. Would love to see feedback from any owners as well.

Can someone share detailed info about what the Mark Kelly power supply unit "features" are? I'd be interested in an upgraded power supply as well and if possible to get in on the original group buy since the initial batch hasn't been delivered yet. Glad to hear the designer's health is improved!

Palasr, The price list won't come up on my computer, perhaps it's due to my using a Mac with Safari.

Jcote, none of us knows any details about Mark's design, much less its features. The project dates to the origin of this thread, about 2 years and 4 months.
