Released in Britain in 1965 as a follow-up to the now-legendary Garrard 301, the Garrard 401 is an idler drive turntable that remains highly sought-after by audiophiles and collectors alike. The turntable features a large motor that drives an idler, This mechanism is known for its reliability and is still praised by turntable fans around the world. The base is die-cast aluminum, offering a highly robust feel. By its high quality of construction and design, the 401 provides excellent performance, with low wow and flutter and low rumble. Many people say that a Garrard 401 is made superb by a great plinth. This particular unit is set in a beautiful Sunwood plinth. Overall, the whole thing is stunning. This is a legendary vintage turntable, and one in excellent condition is a rare find.
