Drive System Retrofits for Other Turntables
Through the years, Verdier and Redpoint owners (as well as owners of other turntables) have been persistent in their requests for a Galibier drive system (we’re flattered). Leveraging lessons learned from our recent drive system update, we have streamlined our production capabilities, and we’re proud to announce that we have re-instituted our drive system retrofit/upgrade …

I’ve been performing successive tuning of it over the past few months, and last week I asked myself whether it is in fact necessary as …
Driving Home Through Montana
Our return from the Pacific Northwest (see previous post) took us through Montana, where we took a two day break in Bozeman to ski at Bridger Bowl. It’s always fun (re)connect with old and new friends.
