The
new P7 is, in our opinion, the ultimate performance turntable at it's price
available to the music-loving public. We designed the P7 with knowledge and
expertise gained from our legendary flagship turntable the P9.
The
plinth is a complex CNC machined skeletal structure of medium lightweight fibre
composite encased in highly ridged phenolic resin laminates - ultra lightweight,
ultra rigid foundation for this high performance turntable. This results in the
plinth being very strong and very light, which inturn improves the
performance.
The
main bearing assembly is engineered to extremely tight tolerances. This results
in virtually friction free rumble-less performance which, if lubricated
correctly, will last your lifetime!
The
ceramic platter is something which we have desperately wanted to evolve from the
P9 and use for other turntables, yet for a long time we have had difficulty in
being able to produce such an expensive material for lower cost turntables.
However, we believe this new incarnation of the ceramic platter bridges that
gap!
The
P7 is finished in a highly attractive Aluminium metal extrusion surround. Which
offers great rigidity and through clever machining produces an extremely low
mass which gives a performance improvement.
Power Supply
The all
new TT PSU and motor anti-vibration circuit is a combination of the innovative
P9 power supply along with an improved P25 anti-vibration motor drive feeding
the P9 24V AC synchronous motor. The TT PSU uses a remote "wall wart"
transformer therefore keeping the sources of hum & noise well away from
sensitive parts such as the cartridge and phono leads. These attributes will
enhance and control the turntables effectiveness to reproduce music.

The new RB700
The
RB700 carries forward the superior RB
name with huge efficiency, and lives upto the RB tonearms much awarded history.
The RB700 is clearly different in many ways to the previous 600 model, some of
the key areas of improvement are the bias housing, bearing assemblies and the
materials used on it.
The
RB700 tonearm is designed to make cartridges work harder, maximising the
cantilever acceleration and travel as much as possible with the utmost accuracy
within the cartridge body thus providing new levels of information.
Fitted as standard on our P5
and P7 turntables the RB700 offers exceptional performance and build
quality.
The aluminium tube has been specially coated in a unique finish
whilst remaining low mass. The tonearm assembly is concentrated around
precision, hardened stainless steel and miniature ball races of the highest
quality. The bearings fit on to ground shafts and into the tonearm using
interference fits. This means that no adhesive is required and therefore none of
the associated (component - adhesive - component) losses in rigidity prevail. It
is fitted to the plinth by a 3-point fixing which is CNC machined out of a
single solid block of Stainless steel. This provides the strongest most rigid
base structure possible for the tonearm and causes less stress on the plinth and
the bearing housing, and therefore the least possible resonance.
