| Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5? @latenightcityCheck my Virtual Systems to see my Garrard tables. I guarantee if you heard them play, you would be floored. | |

| Turntable Recommendations or ... Save for longer and get a better table and arm than you've suggested. | |
| Turntable Mat question I use a 10" EP and it beats everything I've tried on my slate- plinth Garrard 401. | |
