^ This thread just got even better. ;-)I can't wait to see the OP's final table. It's definitely going to be one of the more unusual interpretations of a Garrard build.

Just get the SPH. However you should listen and understand the 301 sound with the original bearing first if you can. After a few weeks, swap the bearing. It’s a 15 minute job. Leave run for 6 hours. Then listen to your reference record. Be prepare...
