Product information

 

Turntable 

 

Chassis available in silver or matt black 

 

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 four feet which act as shock absorbers. 

 

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

 

The platter is a sandwich construction utilising the hub, a sheet-steel platter weighing 1,3Kg and a felt mat. 

 

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

 

An opto-electronic switch stops the motor as soon as the cartridge has reached the run-out groove. 

 

External power supply avoids potential electro-mechanical interference. 

Tonearm  Pro-Ject 8.6

 

 

The turntable is supplied with Ortofon OM 5E 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. 

 

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. 

 

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.
