Hi all,
A family member is looking for a replacement tonearm for a Garrard 301. I'm fairly uneducated in this department, but everything I've managed to find so far is far more than he is willing to pay.
To put this into context, he bought the turntable brand new in the 50s when things were a lot cheaper! He's in his 80s and his hearing isn't brilliant, so he feels a high-end SME or Ortofon is a waste. Are there any budget alternatives that I can get for less than £150? You'll have to excuse me if that's a stupid question!
