Garrard 301 Classic Panzerholz Micro Suede by Artisan Fidelity

The 12th Annual Positive Feedback Writers’ Choice Awards for 2015 – The Best of the Best!

Garrard 301 Schedule 2 Panzerholz Classic model by Artisan Fidelity, finished and displayed in Micro Suede Black. The comprehensively factory restored Garrard 301 Schedule 2 Oil type turntable shown is included.  To the best of our knowledge, no higher quality Garrard 301 wood based plinth currently exists on the market. The Panzerholz constrained layer damped 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 plinth configuration is ready to accommodate single, nine to twelve inch effective length tonearms.  Micro Suede finished tonearm board milled from resonant damped German Panzerholz.  Although our 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, bland neutrality and deadness, robbing the Garrard 301 of its inherent life, vibrancy and energy. Our composite core constrained layer damped recipe simply allows the maximum energy of the musical landscape to flow without hindrance. 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 design was carefully tuned by ear and finely developed over a period of 4 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 sealers and surface coatings.  Comprehensive one year manufacturers warranty against defects included.

Package as listed includes:  Comprehensively restored Garrard 301 Schedule 2 turntable, Artisan Fidelity Micro Suede Black Panzerholz Plinth, Panzerholz blank matching armboard, Stillpoints Ultra SS OEM isolation devices.

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