  • Provides rich, musical presentation across genres.

Precision Belt-Drive System

  • Belt drive reduces motor noise and vibration transfer to the stylus.

High-Mass Plinth and Isolation

  • Solid, well-damped plinth minimises resonance and external vibration.

  • Precision engineering allows the tonearm and cartridge to perform optimally without coloration.

Advanced Tonearm Design

  • Static-balanced tonearm with precision bearings for accurate tracking and low friction.

  • Designed for minimal distortion and excellent stereo imaging.

Variable Speed Support
