We have a mission with our turntables...
-
To bring the superior musicality and sound quality, typical for the ”High-End Idler Drive” turntable decks, to a reality
-
To surpress the typical ”Idler Drive Turntable” disadvantages to a minimum
This is achieved by the following principals and constructional solutions:
-
Elimination of plinth resonances through an open skeletal plinth construction
-
Absorbtion of motor vibrations (the main source of the ”idler-rumble”) by use of a massive 30mm thick granite upper plinth
-
Separation of motor and tone-arm from each other
-
Tone-arm mounted on a separate massive 40mm lower wooden plinth
-
A solid, heavy and acustically dead 50mm diameter brass pillar in combination with a 10mm aluminium plate for the tone-arm assemblage
-
Separation of the two plinths with isolation that eliminates vibration transferation and which at the same time secures a firm connection between the plinths. This avoids individual plinth movement, by use of 3 ”Heavy Brass Feet” from the US manufacturer Mapleshade Records.
-
Secure the turntable from cavity vibrations with 4pcs. ”Discs of Silence” from the Swedish manufacturer Solid Tech
-
In case of Garrard 401 further improvement of the turntable is achieved by changing to ”Kokomo Hydrolic Spindle Bearing” from the German manufacturer Analogue Tube Audio.
