Product information
 
Turntable 
 
Chassis available in matt black, glossy black, silver, glossy white, red, blue and green 
 
A quiet running AC motor with a two-step pulley drives the hub and platter via a flat-ground belt. 
 
The medium density fibre plinth stands on four feet which act as shock absorbers. 
 
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. 
 
External power supply avoids potential electro-mechanical interference. 
Tonearm  Pro-Ject 8.6
 
 
The turntable is supplied with Ortofon Alpha MM-cartridge fitted. 
 
Uniform material: the tonearm tube and bearing housing are constructed from aluminium. 
 
The headshell and undamped armtube are fashioned from a single piece. 
 
The inverted horizontal bearings consist of two hardened stainless steel points bearing in sapphire cushes. 
 
Flexible counterweight shaft avoids vibration at undesirable frequencies. 
 
The counterweight supplied is suitable for cartridges weighing between 3 - 5,5g. Alternative counterweights 
for cartridges weighing between 1,5 - 3g or 6 - 9g are available as an accessory part. 
 
Single-screw fixing of armtube allows rotation for easy adjustment of needle azimuth despite fixed headshell. 
 
The internal wiring consists of high-grade flexible copper from the headshell right through to the connection cable. 
 
The connection cable has gold-plated plugs and appropriate capacitance and inductance values.
