Garrard AT-6 MKII Record Changer playing Julie London.

[acfinney]

I actually removed my Elac Studio-10 from my console and installed my NOS Garrard 40 mkII. It is the cousin of the AT6 with cue control. Like you, I like the warm sound of the U-38, but I have an Empire 880p, Shure N7D, and a GE VR-2, all in different headshells. The removal is so quick. I have a lot of changers, but the AT6 and Auto Slim are my favorite. Your system is quite impressive. Good to see other U-38/Jazz fans out there.

Don't know, jenschin. My U-38 came on the changer. I did replace the stylus, so i can tell you those are available. The obvious thing would be to try eBay. You might even be able to find one mounted on a changer cheap enough. The AT-6 in this video was less than $30 delivered not too long ago. I can say it's a really enjoyable cartridge for this type of "fun" listening. Very pleasant without inner groove distortion. Kind of lets the critical mind rest a while and just enjoy some music.

Got to love Julie London. I have an antique Fisher console with a Garrard AT6. Any idea where I can buy a new pickering U38 cartridge for it, I'm having trouble finding one

I have this same changer...it was inside a vintage ent. I bought off of ebay. What's funny is that I also have the same Julie London album. Wish the AT-6 was worth something though! Will it ever become a collectors item do you think?

The speakers with the small footprint and excellent sound, what are they?

You picked a winner turntable, out of the gazillion, how did you know to choose that one? Please let us know the cartridge you're using/prefer GREAT JOB

Never heard of Julie London, thank you for sharing. Class.

Thanks for the kind words. The Speakers are B&W 683's.

I wanted an old changer for fun and to play some of the old jazz LPs that are too beat up for my "good" turntable.

I picked the Garrard AT-6 after seeing so many references to it being a "bullet proof" record changer-or one that's "built like a tank". I also only wanted to spend about $40, which is all you need to get one of these.

The cartridge is the original Pickering U-38 with a new replacement stylus.

It's truly a fun rig!

How come these old at6 do not go for too much compared to the mark 1?
