Product information

 

Turntable 

 

Chassis piano-lacquered dark grey 

 

A quiet running AC motor with a two-step metal pulley drives the hub and platter via a flat-ground belt. 

 

The medium density fibre plinth stands on three height-adjustable rubber-damped aluminium cones. 

 

The motor is decoupled from the plinth to reduce vibration transmission. 

 

The resonance-optimised platter is a sandwich construction utilising the hub and an acrylic platter. 

 

The platter's low-tolerance chrome-plated stainless-steel axle runs on a polished ball bearing in a brass 
bearing housing. 

 

Connection to the phono input of the amplifier can be made with connecting cables of your taste through the 

gold plated phono sockets and earth screw. A standard cable is provided. 

 

External power supply avoids potential electro-mechanical interference. 

Tonearm  Pro-Ject 8.6c

 

 

The turntable is supplied with Ortofon 2M Red-cartridge fitted. 

 

Conical carbon-fibre armtube avoids standing wave reflections. 

 

Low mass aluminium headshell securely glued to armtube. 

 

The inverted bearings consist of four hardened stainless steel points bearing in sapphire cushes. 

 

Flexible counterweight shaft avoids vibration at undesirable frequencies. 

 

Solid armbase permits accurate height adjustment of armtube and VTA (vertical tracing angle). 

 

Single-screw fixing of armtube allows rotation for easy adjustment of needle azimuth despite fixed headshell. 

 

The straight armtube with an effective length of 8,6" reduces toe-in error. 

 

Silicone-damped armlift can be adjusted to suit working height of the arm. 

 

The internal wiring consists of flexible high-purity copper from the headshell right through to the gold-plated 
phono sockets.
