I have two humble turntables. A Technics Sl-j3 and a Technics SL-D202. I love both of them. I always seem to go back and forth on which one I perfer, so I just love them equally now.
I just ordered ZZ Top tickets for me and the old man. It’s the Blues and Bayous Tour with John Fogerty. Concert is on Father’s Day next Sunday. Pretty excited.
Unfortunately this is the only ZZ album I own and I’m not sure why..

I own and very happy with a ProJect Xpression III with the acrylic platter and Ortofon 2M red cartridge.
No. It came with the acrylic platter so everything was setup correctly.Did you have to adjust the tonearm height to adapt to the thicker platter? I had to jack mine up to the point where I needed spacers on the dust cover so closing it would hit the arm!
Nice table, I am a fan of the pioneer PL turntables especially the 518 I have the 514 and love it.My prize - JVC QL-A7

$399 off Ebay (paid for with proceeds from flipping three re-veneered Pioneer PL-518's)
+ stripped off the vinyl and applied real wood veneer
+ recharged the cue damping with 1M silicone (the 30k stuff was too fast)
+ new feet
+ new dust cover from JMK displays
+ Ortofon Blue cartridge and stylus
I've also got a really clean PL-540 sitting here that I'm getting ready to custom walnut plinth.
I think you are about 20 years off on the age of the Garrard.Here are my newest TTs. The first one is a Garrard AT6 and the second one is a Steward Warner. Both from 1947.
