Looks like that's going to fill the gap between the ART 7 and the ART 1000 pretty nicely.

330,000 yen… what’s that in English?

 

[krellmk]

almost $3000

That’s a lot of cold snacks…

Maybe if it came with a replacement stylus & a new Discwasher ? How about free shipping?

Actually, the ART 7 has me curious. I've had my DL-304 for a lot of years now and though I've always had additional music sources, I've got to wonder how many hours I actually have on that stylus.

Someone should design a simple hour meter for turntables.

There is a version of the Garrard Zero 100 designated Zero 100C. C for counter. I have one but managed to f***up the counter some years ago while trying to reset it. So just a plain Zero 100 now.

From Vinyl Engine:

The Zero 100C has an automatic record counter built into the pickup arm to give an indication of elapsed stylus playing time, but is otherwise similar to the Zero 100.

Let's design and print replacement parts for it...

Indeed, for all us folks too lazy to keep a spreadsheet or other manual record-keeping system.
