Garrard SLX-3 turntable

 

There are quiet excitements far from the modding crowd. Two people on the same wavelength, free to admit to each other they also like some of the deeper things, a quiet evening with some music, a magnificent - or corny - record shared together. There's a word for it; compatibility.

And you can see it reflected in the music system, component quality stereo, perhaps, good enough to make a loving sound pleasing to a cultivated ear.

Such a turntable is the Garrard SLX-3, most conveniently a pre-assembled module, it is as compatible a pre-assembled module, it is as compatible with the finest equipment it plays through as the couples that enjoy its music. It is a synchronous automatic turntable, has every professional feature the most advanced units in the Garrard component series have. The Synchro-Lab motor that guarantees perfectly constant speed and unwavering musical pitch, the record safety platform for safe, gentle two-point support in automatic play, the neat finger tab levers on the control escutcheon that run all the manual and automatic operations as if from a cockpit. The ultra-low mass aluminum tonearm. Studio cueing and pausing with viscous damped very gentle tonearm set-down both in manual and automatic play. And of course, the latest high compliance full range magnetic cartridge with elliptical diamond stylus and all the Garrard refinements for perfect tracking, the calibrated stylus pressure gauge with quick-reading window scale, the fully adjustable counterweight, the anti-skating control of patented sliding weight design.
