Product Details

Built around a solid MDF plinth construction, this turntable features a subchassis design with rubber dampers and elastomer vibration absorbers inside the feet to help minimize unwanted vibrations during playback. A removable dust cover keeps the setup protected while maintaining a clean, classic appearance.

The precision aluminium die-cast platter is paired with a heavy rubber mat for improved resonance damping, while the hardened steel spindle sits in a brass bushing for smooth and stable rotation.

Its straight, statically balanced tonearm is constructed from solid aluminium with precision ball-bearings, offering both fully automatic and manual operation for added convenience. Accurate spring-loaded anti-skating further helps ensure stable tracking and consistent performance.

Powered by a regulated DC belt-drive system with optical speed control at the motor, the turntable is designed for stable and accurate playback speed. Rubber-mounted motor isolation and a precision-cut belt help reduce vibration, wow, and flutter for a cleaner, more refined listening experience.
