Essentially, the Garrard Classic design in its modest beginning is based on a factory stock Garrard 401. These British developed idler drives were first introduced in late 1964 and successfully sold some 50,000 plus units during its 12 year production run. What the Garrard model 401 model promised was an improvement over the classic 301 model while featuring a higher torque motor and tighter manufactured tolerances. Many, however, would beg to differ on this last point but properly executed either model achieves a reference level of analog playback.
