Garrard 301 African Wenge Classic Plinth by Artisan Fidelity

Breathtaking Artisan Fidelity Garrard 301 African Wenge Classic plinth with Panzerholz tonearm board finished in ultra gloss clear coat, includes set of (3/ea.) Stillpoints Ultra SS.  (Please note: This ad is for display purposes only, please contact us directly for current lead times, Reed 3P tonearm not included at listing price).  To the best of our knowledge, no higher quality Garrard 301 wood based plinth currently exists on the market, period. The conventional Russian Birch and hardwood based core internal design architecture ensures silent backgrounds and ample dampening for mass loading and direct coupling of the non-suspended Garrard 301 idler drive.  The displayed configuration is ready to accommodate a single, nine to twelve inch effective length tonearm.  Tonearm board milled from resonant damped German Panzerholz.  Like our Statement models, although the void-less plinth design is technically high mass, it is not in any way over damped, unlike many recent designs which often inhibit liveliness in favor of darkness and deadness, robbing the Garrard 301 of its inherent life, vibrancy and energy. Our conventional composite Russian Birch recipe simply allows the maximum energy of the musical landscape to flow without hindrance.  Veneer thickness vary, depending upon wood species and ranges from 1/24" - 1/7" are typical after final sanding and prior to finishing.  For clientele having specific design/material application requests, we provide a myriad of premium core construction and tonearm board materials for your consideration.  These materials may range from Russian Birch, domestic hardwoods, imported exotic hardwoods, German Panzerholz, aircraft aluminum alloys, austenitic steels and Acetal Copolymers / Homopolymers.  Our hand selected team consists of 3rd generation master woodworkers combined with a state of the art machining and finishing facility. Our Garrard 301 plinth designs were carefully tuned by ear and finely developed over a period of 5 years for the ultimate musical expression and tonal characteristics. Each Garrard 301 plinth is now individually laid out, core hand assembled, bonded set and precision CNC milled on a state of the art Bridgeport mill, then painstakingly hand finished using premium spray sealers and surface coatings.

Includes:  Artisan Fidelity Garrard 301 African Wenge Classic plinth, Matching Wenge / Panzerholz blank armboard.

Professional ISPM-15 Stamped Certified crate supplied for safe worldwide delivery.
