Features

10-inch S-shaped tonearm made from a carbon fiber, aluminum, and resin composite — heat-treated at 100 bar for maximum rigidity and internal damping. Compatible with MM and MC cartridges.
Inverted platter bearing with ceramic ball for ultra-low friction, silent rotation, and reduced rumble.
Outboard 15V AC motor with DC-powered AC generator for highly stable, precise speed control, fully decoupled from the chassis.
Manual belt-drive speed change between 33⅓ and 45 rpm via motor pulley (no electronic switch).
Boomerang-shaped MDF plinth removes unnecessary mass and reduces resonance pathways from chassis to platter.
300mm MDF platter with recycled vinyl layer as mat — natural damping with excellent record interface.
Three height-adjustable, damped aluminum cone feet for precise leveling and vibration isolation.
Magnetic anti-skating mechanism for accurate, consistent anti-skate force during playback.
TPE-damped counterweight eliminates counterweight resonances for cleaner signal from the cartridge.
Gold-plated RCA phono outputs on rear panel for corrosion-resistant, high-quality signal transfer.
Configured for balanced phono operation — upgrade to mini-XLR balanced cable and compatible phono stage for reduced noise (sold separately).
Sumiko Amethyst MM cartridge pre-mounted and aligned — nude line-contact diamond, aluminum cantilever, hand-crafted in Yokohama, Japan.
Upgrade path wide open — MC cartridge compatibility, optional balanced phono operation, acrylic platter, cork or leather mat upgrades, and more.
Gloss Black piano lacquer finish.
Made in Czech Republic. 2-year warranty.
