I have a Garrard 401/Aro/Troika/pre-fix in a Loricraft Skeletal plinth, which I am generally happy with. The problem that I have with it is that it's no looker! Normally, I can ignore that aspect of the design, but every time I look at it, I think that it deserves better. I know that Terry released this plinth to keep the cost down & also because he believed that this design was best for sound quality.
My Lenco 88 sits in a hybrid slate / aluminium plinth of my own design, but I'm wondering what I could do as a future project for the Garrard? I'm not keen on the guts of the turntable being on view tbh.
I would be interested in what you guys have done for your 401, be it something bought in or DIY; eBay is awash with ready made plinths and I know that many go for the multi-layer ply approach, but I wonder how this compares to the lighter skeletal design?
