Lol! I have seen turntables with fours arms so I have not gone over the top.Originally Posted by kininigin
That's not fair it should be 1 arm per turntable
It would be more fun if there were more arms.

I have seen your tables elsewhere on the net (pics get around) and it is most lovely!!! The acrylic plinth and the arms and the table... if that sounds as good as it looks (I'm sure it does)... time to take a nap!
Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
Always was. Always will be.
One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.

I'm loving the Garrard - it's a big, fat, juicy beast of a turntable (like a good Haut Medoc or late 90's Margaux compared to a Pinot Noir) and it just pushes my buttons really rather nicely thanks.
Just got hold of a Jico SAS stylus for my M75ED cartridge body and it's a real gem. Clean-sounding (down to its posh tip no doubt) but with loads of colour, dynamics, passion, oomph - you know the drill. How far have we come in the last 40 years? Hmmmm...makes one think.

I really like your Garrard on a thick solid block of wood, hence I am thinking to do the same for my Lenco as well.
