    The 'Under 300 Club' (TT's under 300 bucks)

    I am always on a budget and can never afford to layout the thousands of dollars for my holy grail turntables that I want: Garrard 301, Garrard 401, Thorens TD124. I lust after these, but can't quite get the funds together to buy one, make a plinth, buy a tone arm, cart, etc... I think after I...

    Garrard 4HF idler rebuild (almost like 301 / 401 idler)

    Hello, Anyone knows a quality service to rebuild an idler for a Garrard 4HF in the European Union ? It's almost same as the 301 / 401 idlers except for the thickness (as far as I recall), so not a "female" type to insert around an axis, but the opposite (has two thin axis going into small...

    RESTORED GARRARD AT6 MK II

    I just bought and restored a Garrard AT6 MK II. I had no idea what I had until I saw the platter freespin for nearly a whole minute (55 seconds). And, then there were the clear and steady horns and violins. I have a Dual. But, I have to say, I was very impressed with the build and sound of...

    Garrard Lab 80

    Audio sounds suppressed. When I activate the auto return there are a brief few seconds where the audio improves. I have checked the tonearm wires and the muting switch. I also replaced with a known good cartridge. Any Garrard enthusiasts that may know where to look? Thank you in advance

    Garrard 95 Repair Time

    I recently picked up a garrard synchro-lab 95 for the unbeatable price of $10. I need to start locating parts for it, as it needs at the very least a replacement counterweight. Did the 95 and 95B use the same counterweight and tonearm design? I also need a replacement stylus, looks like it says...

    Why are the older idler wheel turntables so highly regarded?

    So I just started getting into vintage audio stuff and I have been looking at a lot of turntables lately. 1 thing that I still don't understand is why some turntables are so much more expensive than others for example the garrard 301-401 I get that these turntables also have a collector's market...

    Garrard GT55
