In Reply to: Audio grail Garrard, are they worth it ? posted by Plinius_Fan on October 21, 2014 at 02:04:26:
Not sure I understand the question. As I read it, you are concerned that all the signature qualities of the Garrard sound be maintained? As far as I can tell, Audio Grail aim to bring their Garrard refurbishments into 'as new' condition. In other words, as if Garrard were still making 301 and 401 decks today and you were able to pop out and buy one at your local dealer. I don't detect a move to 'improve' the sound by altering the original design parameters.
Using local folk is generally a good idea. However, you are no more likely to retain the original sound of the deck in doing this than if you were to use expert restorers. Also, from what I can tell, Audio Grail Garrards have some 'mana', or some cachet about them now, built on a reputation of really good restorations. I don't have one but I wouldn't hesitate to choose theirs if I wanted another Garrard for my systems.
Choice is yours, of course!
