Woodsong Audio Dual Tonearm Compact plinth for the Garrard 301 in Mexican Cocobolo.

This listing is for the plinth only, in Cocobolo, with 4 Track Audio Isolation devices, 2 tonearm boards cut to your specifications,Furutech IEC power inlet, wiring harness, polished slot head mounting screws to match the original Garrard supplied screws, and necessary installation hardware.

Plinth measures 20" wide, by 16" deep, by 4.25" tall ( not including footers) making this one of the smallest Garrard plinths available, yet still having a weight of around 35lbs.

This plinth design utilizes articulating armboards, which allows for a smaller footprint, clean tonearm cable routing, ease of precise adjustment, and also ease of changing tonearms, should you desire. Armboards can frequently be cut to mount 2 or more different tonearms, each. Indian Rosewood is our default material for articulating armboards, though Ebony is an option, as well as Bronze, Panzerholz, Maple, Wenge, or really, about anything you want to try. This is the beauty of articulating armboards. Of course, we also offer plinths with plinth mounted, fixed armboards, and like them as well.

Garrard 301 motor unit, tonearms, and cartridges are not included.

Woodsong Audio can supply a fully turn key deck, the plinth only, and everything in between.

This plinth is finished in solid Mexican Cocobolo which is sliced and freshly surfaced 'in house' at the time of use. One more set of this exact wood is available, as well as 5 or six other options in Mexican Cocobolo, so you can choose your favorite grain. This is not the paper thin commercially supplied veneers which are used by others, which have a tendency to be more 'washed out' in color, and offer insufficient thickness for refinishing, should any damage ever occur. One more set of this exact wood is available, as well as 5 or six other options in Mexican Cocobolo, so you can choose your favorite grain.

The finish is actually highly polished wood, hand rubbed in a special oil which works well with Cocobolo. It looks amazing, far beyond what can be seen in photos. While we do offer polished, instrument grade finishes of the highest quality, aesthetically, and also in terms of 'aging well', this is our preferred finish.

Cocobolo is rapidly disappearing from the world market, and is already very difficult to find. Woodsong Audio has a very nice stash of this wonderful wood...

Our high mass CLD plinth design has been developed over the past 10 years, to have just the right amount of damping to minimize resonance within the plinth, without being over damped. Too much damping, say, in the case of a plinth made predominantly, or completely from some composites, and the music will sound dull, with little air. Too little damping, like with a plinth made only from hardwood (layers or solid), and issues with resonance can arise, creating potentially serious problems for more sensitive arm / pickup combinations. Again and again, positive customer feedback reinforces that we are doing something right!

4 Track Audio Isolation devices are included with this plinth. (shown in the photos, are the Track Audio Turntable footers) In most listening room environments, these are the best footers available for use with the Garrard based decks and high mass plinths. Stillpoints are also an option, if you prefer, at slight price increase.
