Tonearm suggestion for Garrard 301 schedule ll oil bearing?
If you’re staying with those cartridges and playing heavy rock, the Jelcos are all you need. I play everything from airy female vocals, jazz, classical, Hawkwind, The The, rap, Blues... No need to blow $5k on a Reed or Schroder etc. How is you Gar...
