| Garrard 301 - Project Does anyone have any direct experience with Massif Audio record weight? Exquisite wood work for sure, would love to hear your one on one experience. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project @jperry Thank you for your recommendation. Interestingly, Helox was also suggested by Artisan Fidelity. @noromance I hear you, I guess it’s a fine balance. Just like any other tweak, sometimes the cure can be worse than the disease. | |
| Garrard 301 - Project Moving on, I would like to hear from some of the Garrard 301/401 owners on record weight / clamp they found to be complementary. Since I am going with Artisan Fidelity’s hybrid platter + Saphire bearing, their very own Aluminum Record Clamp will b... | |

| Garrard 301 - Project “Looking Beautiful and Fitting for the Job in Hand in only one piece of the equation” @pindac Haha—fair point! I may be admiring the shine on the thoroughbred before it is even left the paddock. But with this bloodline of components, I’m feelin... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project Jim @jperry I will post my impressions before or after plinth installation. August 2025 will mark two year anniversary since it all started. It’s been fun for sure, learning and understanding the path to classic Garrard 301 customization. The ... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project Time for another exciting update: I just came across a rare opportunity to grab Artisan Fidelity’s Statement Saphire Inverted bearing and Aluminum/Mg. alloy platter. I am expecting delivery in 6-8 weeks and can’t wait to install and experience thi... | |
| Kirmuss users, what do you find? @traudio I am glad to hear you found the problem. I’ve gone through my fair share of cleaning solutions and some caused more problems (residue and gunk than others). Finally, stumble upon L'Art Du Son Record Cleaning Fluid. Been using it over a... | |
