Hi,
what means GR ?
Garrard? Model?
And how about synchronous/ induction motor noise?

Jesus is a nice guy with knowledge and education about sound & electronics, that's for sure!
Also he's manufacturing great solutions for our old record lathes, not with rediculous 3d printing plastic cnc, but with very precision Swiss metal lathes.

This one size fits all might be enough for some, but doubt it will be for me. Worst case it will flood the ...

If anything, this might bring down the prices of our old prestos That's for sure, in the near future will you see a lot vinyl recorders for a first time listed on eBay. But nothing can beat an original Moog model D (behringer,etc). Don't forget is one button & one jack line record lathe, but enough...
