Garrard zero 100 tonearm4/1/2024 ![]() OP if you are still out there: How about some details on how to build this arm if one had a machine shop and was curious. I intend to use an SME 3009R on the Sony TTS3000. Despite this I am really tempted to buy both a Sony TTS3000 and a Garrard Zero 100. I already have a Thorens Td 147 Jubilee with a Thorens TP16 (Schopper TP63 arm wand). I like the arm and am envious of the obvious skill that went into building it. I am about to embark on a turntable journey that will be interesting and daunting. I own a Benz Ebony H, and think that is not so great. I also own a Garrard 401 and think that is cool and can't wait to get it running. I own two Thorens TD-124 and love Swiss engineering. The Garrard arm is horrible, and the table flimsy - well I'll try to be charitable and keep my mouth shut. I should note that I have several very close friends who still argue with me over the stylus geometry issue over a good beer. I have also heard/read the arguments over spherical styli and have two 12" tone arms in service, (one is a Schick, the other an SME 3012 clone I built from a kit and salvaged SME 3009 bits and pieces) and yet I still find the elliptical or line contact stylus on my (3) SPUs preferable to the spherical stylus version SPU which nonetheless seems more capable a tracker than the ZU DL-103 I once owned. It is an interesting tone arm and looks very well executed.
