Rega P10 v Complete rebuild Garrard 401!
Thanks Dan.  Yes it is a ton of $, period.  I really would prefer to spend closer to half of that amount.  I will check out your contact as well.  The one I’m referencing was completely rebuilt in the UK but i believe the plinth ( a beautiful piec... 
Rega P10 v Complete rebuild Garrard 401!

have to say there are some mighty good lists here, and wonder if any of you live in Dallas as I've yet to meet anyone here who has a passing knowledge of "good" music.  Only will repeat a few that I was pleasantly surprised some people picked up o...
