Welcome to Galibier

From Thom @ Galibier Design

We've been designing turntables since 1999, and formed Galibier Design in 2003. Our philosophy is centered around stable, mature designs, with an educated customer being a happy customer.

We have very specific ideas about what constitutes a great turntable, and it's not about belts vs. idlers vs. direct drive, but the entirety of the design.

We realize we can't be all things to all people, and in 2022 we began to represent the work of turntable designers we hold in high regard.

None of this intended to diminish our designs, and our soon to be released Savoie is the culmination of everything we've learned about turntable design.

Stay tuned for its launch in early Winter of 2026.

Over time, we've expanded, to cover all things vinyl, including phono stages and amplification.

What they say

Unlike so many high-end manufacturers, Thom doesn’t try to keep milking his customers for more and more dough with expensive and marginal “upgrades.”

He simply builds one of hell of a turntable to start with and then takes care of his customers for as long as they have it.

We've been there ...

Call us idealists, but when someone approaches us with an "unsolvable" problem, we feel their pain, and it inspires us to get them back up and running.

The unfortunate reality is that the audio industry (like most industries) is rife with incompetent pretenders whose only interest is in taking your money.

These customer journeys all begin the same way: with an innocent question about a "minor" problem the customer is experiencing.

As we peel back the layers, the other shoe drops and the real issue surfaces.
