| Garrard 301 restore @dekay +1 I think my real point, although not well articulated, was don't buy a base that you need to upgrade. I agree with you, and I am always happy to see another person put a Garrard back in service. I have one and I am very happy with my G... | |

| My Sonic Labs cartridges If you have not read the linked review, it provides a very good description of the MSL Platinum Signature (better than I could write). I compared the MSL to my Benz Micro LPS, Shelter 901. EMT JSD s75, Sumile, Koetsu Coralstone, and a few others.... | |
