Setup Tips
Andre’s Setup Technique. This is a great narrative on how a master sets up his turntable. Stay tuned for a setup video from us, but know that we’re 100% in agreement with Andre’s setup protocol.
A Remote Setup We Performed During COVID. Social distancing mandated creativity and this installation was the genesis of all of our remote installations which followed.
Turntable Restoration and Customization
Chris Harban at Woodsong for Garrard restorations.
Bill Schmitz for restoration of vintage direct drive turntables from the 70’s, along with other vintage analog restorations:
Lee at Acoustand in the UK for custom bases for Garrards, Technics, etc
We've also had excellent results with Shaun at SMD Acoustics/Peak HiFi (also in the UK). Shaun fabricated the base for this Garrard 301 restoration.
