IF you are looking for a trouble-free experience from day one with a great sound, then perhaps you'd be better off looking for something a bit simpler, less complex, or at least more trouble-free. However, since you are new to all this, that advice may be "easier said than done", and an expert overhaul of a turntable like the Zero 100 might be costlier than it is worth. and you'll have a decent turntable to begin with, or even to stay with. Despite what people say, those were quite good bearings when new, and if yours are in good shape, should still be.Īssuming it passes that test, get it fixed up: clean and lube the platter bearing and the mechanisms underneath, consider putting it in a better plinth, upgrade the cables and power cord, etc.
As long as the arm is "floating" smoothly without any excess "play" in the arm structure, you should be okay. The first thing you need to make sure of is that the tonearm bearings haven't been abused if they are too loose, you'll never get remotely audiophile sound out of your turntable. The criticism it gets today is probably undeservedly harsh. Even many critics agree that the concepts behind it were largely sound ones (pun intended ), and the weaknesses it has are those of execution, not intent. It incorporates many ingenious and well-thought-out innovations, and was a sought after "audiophile" deck in its day, that subsequently fell out of repute for various reasons, as some weaknesses were discovered. Originally, it sold for almost as much as the top tables of the day, and it won many awards. Your Garrard Zero 100 is not the best turntable out there, but it also isn't as bad as some people make it out to be.
