My Garrard 301 journey... almost there.

[WESTLOWER]

Ok the plinth saga is now sorted . Ive got Russ to sort me one . He can make me one almost identical (apart from the veneer) and use a panzerholz core for optimal damping. Also some passive isolation on the armboards . He can get going straight away as the deposit is sorted. Estimated 6-8 weeks completion time but possibly before. If things go smoothly. At least I’m not guessing now.

Can I ask how he is to isolate the arm boards?
Will he be incorporating an isolated arm pod into the plinth?
And is he given any thoughts on motor isolation?

Hi mate , it’s nothing fancy just rubber discs between the articulating armboards and the plinth but ‘Woodsong’ said he’s had positive results doing the same so I asked Russ to incorporate it and give it a try. Nothing to lose. If its no good then I just unscrew and remove them.

No we haven’t spoken about motor isolation as I’ve kinda reached my budget with what we already have planned.

This is a picture of how Woodsong does it with discs between the silver top Bolt and armboard ,also under the armboard before the plinth
