SME release new Garrard 301

THAT tonearm and THAT plinth?
It looks like a replica of the original, rather than an upgrade from it.  Unlike what Technics did with the SP1000R.

I know Lew, it's almost like it's 4/1. Seems to be a Loricraft-style plinth.

Not one to normally begrudge a re do but I sense 
"a swing and a miss" considering what its asking price.

I was hoping for a Garrard 601. With improvements in materials and manufacturing process precision I would hope SME could take an idler drive turntable to the next level of precision and sound quality.

@jperry Loricraft made a 601 - a lesser 501 with speed control. Not sure if they make it still.
