Wanted a quality Garrard 301 or 401

[montesquieu]

A recently fully refurbished CTC cream Garrard 301 with oversized platter...Carl Ellis birch ply plinth,SME 3009r tonearm & Ortofon MC Vivo Blue cartridge....thought the Garrard would be playing second fiddle to the LP12 but both myself & my wife are blown away with it...

you'll be flogging the old fruitbox in no time ... I had mine for 20 years.

No doubt the 301 is going to give the LP12 a run for its money far more than I expected but will keep both ....best of both worlds...

My top spec LP12 didn’t hang around once the Garrard idler laid it’s charms on me..
