- Satined acryl plate disc
- Low-tolerance chrome-plated stainless-steel axle runs on a polished ball bearing in a brass bearing housing
- Motor decoupled to reduce vibration
Features:
- Supplied with Ortofon Alpha or Ortofon Vinyl Master White cartridge fitted
- Pro-Ject 8.6 tonearm
- Nominal speeds 33 / 45 / 78 rpm. (78 optional)
- Dust cover
Available in glossy black, white, silver, red, yellow, blue and green

Turntable:
- A quit running AC motor with a two-step metal pulley drives the hub and platter via a flatter-ground belt.
- The medium density fibre plinth stands on four feet which act as shock absorbers.
- A four-point motor suspension to reduce vibration transmission.
- Satined acryl plate disc
- The platter’s low-tolerance chrome-plated stainless-steel axle runs on a polished ball bearing in a brass bearing house.
- External power supply avoids potential electro-mechanical interference.
Tonearm Pro-Ject 8.6:
- The turntable is supplied with Ortofon OM 5E MM-cartridge fitted.
- Uniform material: the tonearm tube and bearing housing are constructed from aluminium.
- The headshell and undamped armtube are fashioned from a single piece.
- The inverted horizontal bearing consists of two hardened stainless steel points bearing in sapphire cushes.
- Flexible counterweight shaft avoids vibration at undesirable frequencies.
- Single-screw fixing of armtube allows rotation for easy adjustment of needle azimuth despite fixed headshell.
- The straight armtube with an effective length of 8.6’ reduces toe-in error.
- The internal wiring cable has gold-plated plugs and appropriate capacitance and inductance values.
