Additional information
The Elac PC 830 is a turntable manufactured by Elac, featuring a walnut finish, belt drive, and a sub-chassis design. It supports speeds of 33+45 RPM and uses a Moving Magnet (MM) cartridge, specifically the Elac D355-17 pickup system.
The turntable incorporates an innovative drive system called Belt Drive Plus, which includes an idler assist to provide sufficient torque for the arm lifting and cycling functions. Once the tonearm descends and the stylus touches the record, the idler disengages, and the turntable operates in the belt drive mode only.
The Elac PC 830 has a heavy, dynamically balanced turntable platter that reduces wow and flutter. It also includes a dual-element, tuned suspension system to isolate external vibrations and prevent acoustic feedback.
