It is recognised for its durable idler-drive mechanism, solid construction, and strong, lively bass performance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis turntable was designed as a modular unit, meaning the plinth and tonearm are separate components. This approach allows users to select a plinth material, such as wood, slate, or composite, to effectively dampen vibrations and minimise motor noise, which is particularly important for its powerful idler-drive motor.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHistorically, the Model 401 was often paired with tonearms like the SME 3009, but it also accommodates many contemporary high-fidelity tonearms, enabling users to tailor its sound to their preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- Idler-wheel drive system\u003cbr\u003e- High-torque AC motor with eddy-current braking\u003cbr\u003e- Speeds: 33⅓, 45, and 78 RPM\u003cbr\u003e- Variable pitch control (+\/- 10%)\u003cbr\u003e- Balanced aluminium platter with illuminated stroboscope\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Why Buy New","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64500449575289,"sku":"GM401-C20-GY","price":495.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/8409\/6055\/files\/b3a50e9b-66df-47a9-bce0-813e096ab358.jpg?v=1788788101","url":"https:\/\/whybuynew.co.uk\/products\/garrard-model-401-turntable","provider":"Why Buy New","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
