Additional information
The E.A.T. Fortissimo is a high-end audiophile turntable known for its substantial build and advanced features. It has an upgraded 22 kg platter with 12 brass inserts and one top brass insert, which adds weight and stabilizes the platter for better speed stability.17 The turntable includes a novel inverted bearing with a graphene-based low-friction coating, reducing friction to 1/6 of the EAT Forte S. The motor is a stand-alone, decoupled AC unit that reduces vibrations and motor noise, providing perfect torque.
The E.A.T. Fortissimo is available in a smaller configuration known as the Fortissimo S, which weighs around 47 kg (104 lbs) and is priced at $8,000 without tonearm and cartridge. The Fortissimo S features a two-part chassis design that combines the dynamic delivery of a mass-loaded design with the low-noise characteristics of suspension.
