| Revamp Garrard 301, keep Oracle V or move along?

| Revamp Garrard 301, keep Oracle V or move along? since my Garrard is 50hz/220v i have only heard it with my Loricraft UPS 301 AR.....although i understand it makes a considerable difference in the performance. i certainly like how it sounds but have no context of not using it.obviously it plugs ... | |

| Platter Upgrade for Garrard 301 But if one owns such an TT as an Rockport and is still not fully satisfied then,I am afraid,I have no answer......you are not the first to question why i am traveling down this road....but 'not fully satisfied' with the Rockport is not the answer ... | |
