Pure Sound by Phono EQ Circuit

To preserve purity, the phono EQ circuit was refined through repeated listening tests. For high-quality, low-noise sound, shielding, dedicated ± power supplies, and separate grounding reduce interference.

2-layered Platter with Improved Damping

The platter on which a vinyl record is placed features a two-layer structure: an aluminium die-cast platter reinforced with ribs on the reverse side, and a deadening rubber layer to eliminate unwanted resonance.

Aluminium S-Shaped Tonearm

The tonearm pipe is made of lightweight, high-rigidity aluminium. The bearing section of the gimbal suspension construction tonearm consists of a machined housing and high-precision bearing to provide high initial-motion sensitivity.

High Rigidity Cabinet

The aluminium die-cast chassis is rigidly integrated with a special material consisting of ABS mixed with glass fibre to achieve a two-layer construction. The combination of this special high-rigidity material and a metal chassis raised the rigidity and vibration-damping performance to higher levels, realising a robust cabinet for beautiful sound reproduction.

High-Damping Insulator

The insulator is comprised of a spring and rubber to provide optimal frequency characteristics. This not only assures high sound quality and superb howling resistance, but also effectively shuts out external vibrations under high sound level conditions.
