High-Quality Components for Faithful Sound Reproduction

The 8.6-inch acrylic tonearm is an entirely new design. Combining black aluminum and acrylic elements, it delivers excellent performance while seamlessly integrating with the turntable’s overall aesthetic.

Advanced Electronics for Optimal Performance

The turntable is equipped with a belt-driven synchronous motor featuring electronic speed control. This system generates a powerful and stable sinusoidal AC current, ensuring precise platter rotation regardless of power supply fluctuations.

Switching between 33 and 45 RPM is done electronically, offering great ease of use. Wow and flutter performance is excellent, with values of +/-0.16% at 33 RPM and +/-0.14% at 45 RPM.
