Garrard 301
« on: 23 Nov 2017, 07:16 pm »
My Garrad project is coming together....received my Acoustand Skeletal plinth yesterday and set the Tonearms in place:
1) Right Side in photo is the SME 3012 Series 1 just back from a Cardas Re-wire and SMEtonearm.com refresh/rebuild.  It will have a Ortofon SPU mounted via Denon SUT.
2) mounted on left in photo facing the rear of plinth is a SME 312 arm with Shelter 501 MKii with SoundSmith
Rebuild.
Last photo is my Shindo Pre with MM Phono and VAC Phi 200 amp which is paired with Proac Studio 3’s

Garrard 301 is in route from Woodsong Audio In Idaho from a rebuild so all should be ready to go next week....
Stay tuned for listening impressions.

Cool. Did you get a decent deal on the TT? Selling at $1200 for one in bad shape is annoying.

I bought it with the SME 3012 and it was in good shape…I sent it off as the rear stub on the SME arm was loose so I figured if I was going to have the arm gone over I might as well do the table too.  It needed to have a few things done to it so well worth it to me to get them both back in proper working condition.  I will post some more photos of the table when its back.
thx
