Garrard 401 with Airtangent tonearm

[dp1959]

Here's my Garrard 401 with Airtangent tonearm and recent Music Master cartridge. I've owned this for over 20 years and its given me many hours of pleasure. The 401 cost me £75 in 1997 and the Airtangent cost a flipping fortune.. The plinth and cover are diy, sized to accomodate the Airtangent

Looks beautiful David (Ok, I'm slightly biased on the 401 front... ;) ) But the plinth and cover really compliment the amazing looking arm - looks like it could have been factory built, and I bet it sounds stunning. What cartridge are you using in it?

Certainly looks the 'business' David.

£75 for the 401! I bought mine in the early 2000’s and prices had risen to a few hundred quid in that short space of time. Think I paid around £280. I do look at other turntables from time to time but overall I am very happy with the 401, they seem to be a TT that many people just keep.

Plinth with motor unit removed for a lubrication service last year
