Many will think this striking looking turntable is the very epitome of high end. The plinth is a beautiful piece, made from multiple layers of plywood with a cherry top veneer. An AC synchronous motor within a chunky spun aluminium housing sits separately nearby, driving the 60mm-thick platter by a fine cord. This is microprocessor controlled and operated by a small remote unit offering switchable 33/45rpm with fine speed adjustment – a metal stroboscope disc is supplied for setup.
