alternative power supply for Garrard 301

I have just acquired a refurbished Garrard 301. Intend to pair it with a 8 layered marine ply or baltic plinth ,or preferably a double layered slate plinth ( if I can find 2 pieces of 50mm slate slab). Tonearm will probably be 12" Reed 2P on a separate platform and matched with Miyajima shilabe. The only issue I have now is separate power supply. Off course I can always buy a Loricraft PSU 301 AR for GBP2500. Beside Loricraft PSU, I read about Wave Mechanics by
Martin Bastins used with Nottingham turntable but its seems a higher powered unit can be use for Garrard. However cant seems to find a source for it. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated

Hi guys, so far 8 paid for the new psu. 2 more to go. Small money in our quest for audio ecstasy if you own a garrard 301 or 401

Echoing Audioblazer here. I hope a few more fence sitters will take the plunge on this project.

I'd be interested to know if you ever got an upgraded supply for your 301. I know that this thread is a year old and that the group buy for Mark K's controller fizzled out. So did you explore any alternatives? I'm picking up a 301 soon and starting to think about possible enhancements. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Dear GaryB, As far as I know, the group buy for Mark's controller has not "fizzled out". At least I hope not, because I am on the list. Perhaps you mean that he may not be adding anyone to the existing list. I got an email from Mark about a month ago indicating that he has (finally) made substantial progress.
