Highest Quality Materials

The precision CNC-machined plinth is enlarged for greater stability and built without plastic parts or hollow spaces to reduce unwanted vibrations. A heavy glass platter provides a zero-resonance design, avoiding the drawbacks of lightweight steel or plastic alternatives. Carefully selected isolation feet further minimize ambient vibrations from your hi-fi system.

Precision Tracking

The 9″ one-piece aluminium tonearm with low-friction bearings delivers precise tracking, while the integrated headshell reduces vibrations and the adjustable anti-skating optimizes performance. Pre-fitted with the Pick it 25A moving magnet cartridge, it offers dynamic, detailed sound right out of the box.
