This entry-level turntable concept is audiophile and this version includes carbon tone-arm with spin-off EVO-technology. Its gimbal design features a resonance damping counterweight that allows best performance for any cartridge. The approved belt drive design offers low noise AC motor with effective motor decoupling, ultra precision frequency DC-driven AC generator (like Speed Box) for superb speed stability. Advanced thermo plastic elastomers (TPE) are used in a sandwich construction with aluminum alloy for optimized resonance behavior. Platter bearing axle is made from low tolerance chrome plated stainless steel running on teflon bottom in a bronze bearing housing. Turntable main plinth is from low resonance MDF, which is effectively decoupled from structure-born noise by special absorber feet that use TPE technology.

Beside its sound quality, this turntable convinces with classic elegance and first-class finish.
