That is just Freaking Gorgeous ! I'd love to hear it sometime.
BTW, did everyone see the article in Stereophile on Garrard bringing back the 301 ? Very, very nice but pricey - $23,500 with an SME M2-12R arm. I think for that kind of money, a VPI Classic Direct with the VPI "Fatboy" gimbaled arm is a better buy. Reportedly after VPI sells the first 400, they will introduce the Classic Direct sans arm for less $$$. I am waiting to see how much less.....
