I love my TD 124, I also have 3 Rek O Kut's and they are all idler. If restored properly they are actually pretty quiet. On the TD I have a slate arm board, it really is dead sonically.
also, if i could throw my two cents in, ive heard alot of idlers over the years and ive always felt that extra bit of noise was what made them sound so good. my 301 im slowly restoring has it but man does it make beautiful music
@@Audiorevue I never took the plunge, the TD-124 which had been restored by a so-called pro out of the US didn't do as good a job as I would have liked. The table was noisy right out of the box. Sold it after a few months of too much fettling under the hood. Friend of mine who had both his TD-124 done by Chris Harban are dead quiet and he swears by them. I would have liked to try a 301 but in the end the restoration work is expensive and there is always rumble so I went a different route. It still is a thing of beauty (the 301) and if I had space I would get one soley for mono recordings, as they were primarly made during the mono era and their bearings were never optimized for low noise. Turntables of that era were never designed to have low vertical vibration, since mono cartridges were not sensitive to it.
No Jazz? No trio classic female singer songer shit? ROCKMUSIC on High End peaces? Great!!!! ❤️ you for that!
@John Bravo whats wrong with you?
@John Bravo yea, what's wrong w you..
This is quite something . 👍👍 the 301 is a classic and people really squeeze the most out of them now.
spettacolare impianto & location & music!
Top....my buddy...! Gracias!!!
Where did you get the strobe light? It's so compact and looks cool.
That’s a nice plinth, can I ask who built it?
Had a terrible experience with a TD-124 yet always wanted to try out a 301. Trouble is these idlers are never quiet. Lovely video though.

Agree, they´re never quiet. Why may Wilhelm Franz have decided in the 1970s to change to "Direct Drive" at a time good DD motors were available?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nice rig.
Cual es tu amplificador de válvulas que acompaña tu hermosa 301 ?

Whats with the jitter bug ?was the TD124 that far out of reach?
Hmmm... I finally followed Ann's advice and took Woodglut. It's great for beginners and has some advanced stuff too.
わしもガラード301を使っとるが、何もいじらん音が一番ええ。レコードに重しを乗せたらあかん。レコードの自然な鳴りを殺す。オリジナルのシートがゴムの固さがちょうどええ。ストロボも要らん。曲はさっぱりわからん。
