| Garrard 301-Worth the effort? Syntax asked for some more "fairy tales", so how could I refuse?And I must apologize to you and this forum, for the lack of substantiation of my comments in that piece. I did indeed contact the National Bureau of Standards and the National Academy... | |

| Garrard 301-Worth the effort? Don't know who Jeremy is, but it's pretty obvious he is shilling for Artisan.I often get emails when Artisan releases a new "product" to the effect that- "do you know this guy is ripping off your designs?" I consider imitation a sincere form of fl... | |

| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Hi Vinyljh,As the importer of the reproduction EMT 997 arm (Tone Imports) you have a cock in the ring on this. I don't. I'm also not comparing an EMT 950 with a 997 either. Just wanted to say I'm not against EMT- I also own one. I keep a lot of de... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? My point regarding the stock 997 arm is very straightforward. To spend $25,000- $60,000 on a vintage turntable where you are stuck with the stock tonearm, which is only so so, and also to be stuck with having to use EMT cartridges, because of the ... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? The EMT 927 is very similar to other professional 16" broadcast turntables- large platter, large powerful motor, large bearing, idler drive. The hype around the 927 is the typical hype around EMT. I own an EMT 950 BBC Widebody, by the way, along w... | |
| EMT turntables as good as other great vintage TT? Hello Broederen,The BBC EMT's used moving magnet carts, not the EMT MC carts. Our deck is entirely original, and I intend to keep it that way. As EMT did not make MM carts, we are using a moving iron cartridge from Soundsmith, which we represent. ... | |
| Garrard 301/401 audition request Hello Actusreus,You wrote, "If the design is so good, why did it disappear from the market in the first place, and why isn't someone building turntables based on this design, whatever that design is? In the capitalistic economy it simply does not ... | |
| Revamp Garrard 301, keep Oracle V or move along? Hello Mike,If you have the PSU301AR you have the top of the line supply and controller, with all the bells and whistles. I do not anticipate the new Loricraft OMA controller to exceed the performance of your unit. The new supply does not use the s... | |
| Revamp Garrard 301, keep Oracle V or move along? When I visited with Loricraft in England in December, I asked what the differences were between the two power supply units (PSU 301/Archivist and PSU401), given their vastly different price. The answer is too long to recount here (if anyone is rea... | |
| Revamp Garrard 301, keep Oracle V or move along? I would definitely keep the Garrard, but I am prejudiced, as I make slate plinths for the Garrard (Oswaldsmill Audio or OMA) and we are now the Garrard/Loricraft representatives for the US. So, with that disclaimer out of the way, the plinth is of... |
