Some more pics on the Garrard internals I received today...

And some pics of the external power supply I had him veneer along with a little accessory box we wrapped. Both turned out amazing. I may veneer all my components one day.

What is the rrp of this gorgeous beast?

Record players will NEVER die. Tube amps make me go gooey. R2R brings a lump to my throat. But tt's just give me a warm fuzzy feeling all over. And there are more better, and esp beautiful ones than ever before. And this is right up there. This is giving me a rush, c.1975!

Yes, lots of beautiful turntables out there. I love to have a few AND (more importantly) the time to enjoy them all.

Thanks Ked. Recommended retail price is the acronym.

Ah, we use MSRP in the States. Here's the listing he put up on Audiogon after completing my table. Keep in mind that I got every upgrade he offered and some he wasn't even offering (like the veneered external power supply). Plus, I went through a dealer who happened to be the same dealer who sold me my prior table and he allowed me to trade my current table back in, so I can't really give you the exact price. He also does much lower priced builds.
