The fact that the belt-driven manual turntable GT20 is the most affordable in our series may have led you to believe that we have cut corners on traditional Garrard quality.
They couldn't have been further from the truth. Consider, first of all, that it has the exact same ultra-low-mass S-shaped tonearm as our most expensive direct-drive model, and the same precisely calibrated anti-skating device to eliminate unwanted centrifugal forces.
And the same jewel-encrusted, ultra-fine pivot bearings that virtually eliminate friction, allowing you to use the highest quality cartridge systems. Consider also the heavy, die-cast aluminum platter, which is dynamically balanced for exceptionally smooth operation. And finally, consider the exquisite design, which is on par with the other models in this series.
