no expert here...my 1 cent... I recently acquired a G401, and while scouring the web for insights and trivia, I read that owners of Loricraft now use a SL-1200GR2. on a separate occasion, when I sought feedback from a very esteemed forum member on what direction I should take, he too, without hesitation, guided me toward the SL-1200GR2. now this is coming from FM who has the best TT one can ever have.
i was close to pulling the plug, but couldn't locate used ones at decent price abroad ...got a good deal for the G401, and hence pulled the plug....but i feel, if budget allows, a brand new GR2 would go a long way. lot of good reviews out there. if revolver club is selling a brand new piece, at 2.4-2.6, i think its worthwhile...
