Galibier Design The Savoie

The Galibier Design The Savoie turntable has the following notable technical specifications and features:

• Modular Drive Configuration: It supports both idler or belt drive, allowing easy swapping of drive units for servicing or changing drive type within about 10 minutes.

• Isolation Platform: The arm mounts and bearing/platter are mounted on their own isolated platform, significantly reducing vibration and noise floor.

• Dual Tonearm Capability: It can accommodate two 12-inch tonearms, with left and right arm mounts that can be reversed or mirror-imaged.

• Fine Vernier Adjustment: Offers 12.5mm of precise adjustment range for pivot to spindle distance, allowing very accurate tonearm alignment.

• Motor: Uses a 3-phase sine wave motor controller architecture for smooth and stable speed control.

• Platter: Comes standard with the Gavia TPI© platter, with an optional Stelvio TPI© platter available. The bearing used is the same precise design as in the Stelvio model, weighing about 17 pounds and made from stainless, brass, and bronze.

• Service Friendly: The modular drive unit allows easy servicing without shipping the entire turntable.

• Material Considerations: The design focuses on reducing compliance and dampening any residual vibrations, with critical components precisely engineered for low resonance and optimal transient response.

The Savoie turntable emphasizes stability, precision, low noise, and customization, fitting a high-end audiophile profile.
