The table, assuming it has been properly reconditioned, is suitable for the finest systems. I know a dealer who recommends that table for systems deep into six figures. He loses a lot of money by NOT selling exotic modern tables, but he likes the Garrard, Thorens, and Lenco idlers. You should use whatever you can afford; that table will be suitable.
Garrard 301 tonearm build...thoughts?
Hi all, the Garrard 301 is ready for set-up...just need to build out the tonearm. With cost in mind, I’ve come up with the below plan...think this will work out ok?
1. Arm: Denon DA-308 (fits budget and love the Ortofon 309-ish look)
2. Headshell: Denon PCL 7
3. Cartridge: Audio Technica AT 33Sa MC
4. MC Step-up transformer: AT-650
TIA Mike

@heightsmike This is what you need. I run 3 of them on Garrard 401. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650147535-jelco-tk-850l-12-inch-tonearm-with-easy-vta-base/ |
@noromance appreciate that! I didn’t research the Jelco arms, but hear great things. Do you run MC or MM? Thanks for pointing me in a direction that you’ve had success with on your 401. Happy Holidays! |
@heightsmike I use Decca cartridges and if they work great on the 850, anything will. |
