Mike L.
former Platine Verdier owner, on the Garrard 301 oil bearing in 75-pound Classic plinth, USA:
Well, got the stock i/c on the Dyna, and not all tweaked yet, and nothing sitting on stand, without isolation, and it betters the Verdier/Koetu Urishi on a special Isolation stand…I am candidly surprised. I did not expect this. I had the the Cain and Cain plinth and it did not sound good. This is way above. The 301 is incredible in your plinth. It has only the inexpensive Denon 103 R and that is not redone yet…and only a stock cable and it is better by a long ways than the Verdier on a special isolation table. Next I will try the Koetsu in the arm….and in my best phono stage and see. Damn…don’t let this get out, or it will ruin the high end.
