Design
The turntable uses a high-mass platter with a high moment of inertia to reduce uneven rotation and employs a large insulator to minimize vibration transmission from the feet. The S-shaped tonearm allows for replaceable cartridge and headshell combinations and includes an internal anti-skate mechanism for stable tracking. A built-in strobe enables speed adjustment calibration.
