FEATURES
1. High Rotational Performance
A high degree of rotational performance has been
achieved through the use of a high-performance, hightorque direct drive motor, speed detection using a highdensity optical pulse encoder, and a PLL quartz control
system, etc.
2. Hybrid (2-Layer) Platter Offers Excellent Vibration
Resistance
The bottom surface of the large-sized, thick aluminum
die cast platter is entirely covered with a silicon rubber
sheet which increases the internal vibrational losses
and prevents platter ringing.
3. Rubber Mat Developed with Holographic Analysis Technology
Close adhesion of the record with the surface of the
turntable mat is necessary in attaining a stable sound.
The surface of the turntable mat has a minute taper from
the outside portion to the inside portion which increases
the adhesive qualities of the record.
4. Finely Finished Wooden Cabinet
The large-sized wooden cabinet incorporates the latest
technology in both the materials and the finish. A largesized insulator is used that comprises a combination of
damping rubber and conical springs to strike a balance
between howling characteristics and elegance.
