DETAILS::
Plinth: Aluminum / Solid MDF:
Each unique unit is created individually and the plinth is finished with real wood veneers. The critical components, such as motor, platter and arm are fixed to a 10mm thick aluminum base plate. The heavy top and base plates are connected to minimize vibration.
Platter: Solid Aluminum
The heavy platter, weighing 2.7kg, is machined from a solid block of aluminum and refined with a blasted and elevated surface finish. The platter weight is exactly matched to the motor regulation in order to reduce wow and flutter to an absolute minimum.
Tonearm: Twin Gimbal Design / Spring loaded tracking force
The tonearm base and both gimbal elements are machined from solid aluminum. Precision pivot ball-bearings are used in conjunction with hardened steel spikes to ensure tightest tolerances within the tonearm assembly over a long lifetime. The tracking force is independent of gravity and adjusted with a torsion spring.
Drive: Direct-drive
The drive unit is engineered and made in Germany. Its regulation is specifically designed for high-end audio application, placing emphasis on stability, with no quick start up times nor high torque. These features are only important for DJ applications and not appropriate in such a high quality system.
