Timing is tight especially for a belt drive TT. Less is more.įirst listening impressions are not bad.
#Garrard zero 100 review manual#
If you don't care about originality: remove all the mechanics you don't need for simple manual operation. Take the TT out of the hollow box, remove the springs and mount it on the new plinth as hard as you can. Even better: make a heavy DIY birch multiply plinth like the idler wheel brigade does: Garrard 301/401, Thorens TD124, Lenco. Put it on 4 rubber pods or even better mount 4 spikes, one in every corner. Of course i removed the shitty plastic bottom plate. Sigh.ĭespite the motor problems the rumble and noise level is tolerable. Speed seems a little higher but now i hear a "woosh" sound in the main bearing.
The 86 SB ran too slow and so seems this Zero 100! Mmm is it the grease in the bearing? The next day i cleaned the bearing again and used oil. It's an inverted bearing, see the 86SB page. I cleaned the main bearing and stuffed it with grease.
It's better than it used to be but not as quiet as the 86 SB. So now the motor isn't balanced anymore resulting in vibration and noise. Or actually 3 pieces of metal with 1 piece loose and rattling away on top of the other 2! Mmm some glue did the trick but the metal ring had holes drilled in it for balancing purposes. In the hole there's a round piece of metal with the spindle in the middle. Very nice but didn't he see the 2 RCA females? He could have just plugged a new RCA cable in! On the right the "synchro-lab" motor.The usual affair of a chunk of metal with a hole in the middle with 2 coils on either side. The hifi shop owner had soldered a new external cable on it.
