My system is mostly new except my sole source, a beautifully restored Woodsong Garrard 301. I searched for many years for a good used restored 301 and finally found one. Not only it is at the center of my system, after getting it I upgraded my entire system to match the quality and beauty. I think the original 301 is about 60+ years young. Still competes with the best. And I still long for the sound of my Quad 57s. I lived joyfully with them for 10 years. Ultimately decided I needed more dynamics, bass and treble. But the 57’s midrange can still be compared to the best. After all, most of the music is in the middle.
Surprised more folks have not mentioned 57s.
