Since 1998 sustained by Loricraft in the UK, who managed to buy the rights back from the brazilian Gradiente to re-use the glorious name and even produce a successor to the 401.

So what happened during the 1970s' painstaking and vivid research and the 1980s over-engineering madness if 1960s designs still rule ? I wonder ! Guess I should emphasize that all Ive done is loosen up the thrustball - it doesnt come out of the rivetted enclosure, by design. To be honest this design wasnt invented by the Garrard Labs: it was a design by Burne-Jones & Co. This is the first chapter of my Garrard Zero 100 SB saga. The japanese thus preceded us in re-discovering what we made. The Garrard Zero 100 SB was introduced in 1970 (thats almost 30 years ago. The 401 belongs to that family of hi-fi objects which japanese audiophiles were buying for peanuts while we were looking elsewhere for ultra-tech and feature-packed items. It would've been interesting to observe in retrospect, though ! Our editors feel that the ebay seller transaction fees are outrageous - which means that the price the buyer pays is around 10 higher than it need be. Interestingly, perhaps luckily, the 401 didn't see visually alternate versions throughout its long life : no "disco shine " version, "faux diamond", "faux wood" or 24k gold-plated with backlit ruby inserts. Please note 17/12/21 that we no longer present ANY ebay Garrard adverts here. The 401 is a pleasure to look at, too, with more than one similarity with JBL's contemporary amps - 1960s design at its very best. Like a few other "oldies", such as the Thorens TD-124, the Quad ESL57, the Marantz Model 8B or Garrard's earlier 301, the 401 still is going strong.
