Last summer I met an old colleague at a mutual friends birthday party. Turns out Jim is also a vintage HiFi fan and has some very nice kit.<\/p>\n

First up is this magnificent Garrard 301 turntable. Jim bought this in 1964 as an ex-demo unit. it cost about \u00a325. That was a months wages to the young student apprentice.<\/p>\n

\"ADC

The cartridge is an ADC VLM MKIII, which is very well reviewed on Vinyl Engine<\/p>\n

\"French

Also of some interest is this French ERA turntable. Jim bought this with a view to cannibalizing it for the SME arm. It’s not got a great cartridge, but a nice quiet turntable in the smallest footprint to for an LP. Such Fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
