LOL - agreed! I have a Yammy. Good shell, Herr Schick likes them too.

BTW - which Woodsong are you going with? They are very nice, but very spendy!

Chris found an amazing piece of walnut that we'll be wrapping up in. I was almost settled on going with a Lignolab setup but the appearance just didn't do it for me and it's just as expensive if not more so...Chris' work looks fantastic and I'm sure it'll be as good or better.

Did you also have the HS-1Sa or did you go with another version?

When i get this all built out and you're in town for a work meeting you'll have to check out the setup.

Ok now that's done, what record weights are people using and/or what is the ideal weight for a Garrard 301 original grease bearing?

How can you resist the look of the Thorens?

But, this looks good too and is a good value - TTClassic, Weight Style (1LB/454 Grams) Aluminum

Not sure if you can view the Lenco forum market place but there's a guy in uk making beautiful record weight in various exotic wood and slate combination.


http://www.lencoheaven.net/forum/index.php?topic=6467.0

I have the shinny Thorens weight too but I prefer the Kingswood/slate weight on my Garrard.

Funny, I find that the use of my Clearaudio Twister record weight actually takes away from the sound on my Lenco table, so I never use it.

Agree with Mikeyc. I have three record weights to choose from at home and in the end like the Garrard best sans weight. However I do add a weight when the TT is off for purely cosmetic purposes.

Mikeyc / Sibelius

Are there any particular mats that your guys are using which seems to obviate the need for a record weight?

Also, those of you who have Garrard turntables, do you use the little rubber washers between the actual turntable and your various plinths ? (I'm currently building a plywood plinth - and not sure if I mount the 401 directly to the wood or use the rubber washers inbetween)

Cool, Jaspert. How do you like your Apparition? I have one on my 401, and am quite fond of it.
