Garrard GT-25

The GT-25 is one of Garrard's more lightly documented models. The record shows a straightforward belt-drive automatic turntable from the late 1970s, when Garrard was producing a range of similar GT-series decks. Popular Electronics noted that the GT-25 "cannot be dismissed as just another record player," which suggests it earned some respect among budget-oriented automatic tables of the era. The magazine's full test data hasn't survived in the archive.

The known specifications come from a bare-bones database entry. They describe a competent, no-frills machine. A 4-pole synchronous motor drives the platter via belt, with automatic operation at 33 and 45 RPM. Wow and flutter is rated at under 0.07% WRMS, rumble at -70dB, and signal-to-noise ratio above 60dB. Those are respectable figures for the class. The tonearm is static-balanced and S-shaped, with tracking force adjustable from 0 to 4 grams. Popular Electronics tested the GT-25 in the late 1970s and reported that it could not be dismissed as just another record player.

It is a compact table: 17" wide by 13¾" deep by 5½" high, weighing 11 lbs. No production years, original price, or cartridge details have been documented. It appears in a sidebar/related-models context on a page about the Garrard GT-55, though no direct relationship between the two is stated in surviving sources.
