GARRARD 301 RETURNS IN STYLE AT MUNICH SHOW
Garrard Turntables UK Limited launches the reborn Model 301 Transcription Motor Turntable at the High End Munich 2019.
Following SME's acquisition of the Garrard audio brand last year, an exciting new chapter for Garrard has begun.
A meticulously built Model 301 turntable combined in a unique package which includes the highly acclaimed SME M2-12R precision tonearm and new generation solid walnut isolation plinth was unveiled at the global event held in Germany.
The 301 still sports a die-cast aluminium chassis, and the rim-driven high mass balanced platter is powered by the renowned Garrard Engineering classic idler drive platform. The induction motor is spring-suspended and magnetically screened, and dual voltage ranges of 100 to 130 and 200 to 250 volts, 50 or 60 cycles are quoted.
Everything is wrapped in a handcrafted, solid walnut plinth with built-in isolation at the tonearm base, chassis and feet.
Wow and Flutter is stated at less than 0.2% and less than 0.05% respectively.
In addition to the Model 301 turntable package, Garrard Turntables UK Limited provides a comprehensive range of service, repair and restoration services for the classic Garrard 301 & 401 turntables.
Price and availability
The Model 301 in ivory white will be available from July in limited numbers. We are awaiting confirmed pricing.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
