Kudos to Artisan Fidelity

[Djcxxx]

Many of you know Artisan Fidelity and are familiar with their custom turntables. Christopher is a consummate professional. He is committed to both meticulous attention to detail and devotion to engineering excellence. I recently took delivery of a Garrard 301 Statement SE and Ikeda 407. Artisan Fidelity is constantly improving upon the materials used for the Statement 301, the SE I ordered including both austenitic solid stainless in the chassis plate and lower platter. The build quality throughout is superb, the turntable motor silent and the platter gliding effortlessly on its saphire bearing. Artisan Fidelity manufactures veneers and plinths which are art in and of themselves. Artisan Fidelity brings real dedication and the highest level craftsmanship to their work and this merits recognition on WBF.

hi, very nice. what is the rest of the system?

Posted system in my signature. Has been evolving over decades. My story like many here, smitten with audio early teens. It’s the music, but love the gear. Read original TAS in college, HP’s philosophy made a lasting impression. No particular biases. No one right answer. Many roads lead to Rome. Have small SET second system. Chacun son gout.

I sat next to Chris at dinner at AXPONA. Chris is amazing, both personally and professionally.

Chris is so nice, down-to-earth and sweet he literally almost doesn't seem real. I know that seems hyperbolic or patronizing or both, but spend two hours with the guy, and tell me if you don't wind up feeling the exact same way.
