Additional information
The ERA 444 is a high-end audiophile turntable designed in 1972 by Jean Constant Verdier, known for his innovative turntables and amplifiers. It features a manual belt drive mechanism and is distinguished by its compact size and unique parallelepiped rigid metallic arm with striated design. The arm employs the "active pivot" principle for vertical articulation, enhancing its performance. The ERA 444 is praised for its excellent performance and elegant design, making it a sought-after item among audiophiles. It can be paired with various 9-inch tonearms, though it originally came without one.
