Haaaa, memories, Garrard had a base made of a mix of marble and resin. Very tough but still able to absorb the vibes. Direct drive, tangential arm, all was pretty good.
Did you try what we call "lecture humide"? I can't make it in english right now, but you can get it if I say another arm on the turntable, opposite to the real one, and instead of a cartridge it has a soft and humid sponge. Hope it makes sense… The mix we used to use was distilled water and alcohol.
The symphonic version of petrol heads!
