Get a 301!!

If the higher cost is no problem, get a 301. You will not be sorry.

I have 301 and Lenco L70 at the moment and used 124s for many years.

All are good. Lenco is a DIY project to achieve best results. Mine is stock and while lively and fun, the stock arm is quite far from the greatest and demands low compliance carts. It is an excellent budget choice though and the sky is the limit on mods. Stock...not a top performer.

If you are not a hacker, skip Lencos.

124 has a very enjoyable liquid sound but I'd take the 301 on big music or bass oriented selections. Loved the 124 on jazz though.

301 sonically and mechanically stands above the others I think. Also extremely trouble free. They are all good but I'd have to say the Garrard rules that list.

Make sure you get the proper 50hz or 60hz version for your region!

My 301 in the fancy new plinth made Art Dudley's DC Audiofest report. I hope he didn't slobber on it!

I'd love to try a Lenco G99, certain Gates, a few obscure Rekokuts, etc. for research and continuing education but I will never abandon my 301!
