Additional information

The Audiomeca Pierre Lurne J1 is a high-end turntable renowned for its meticulous engineering and innovative design. It represents a significant achievement in analog audio reproduction, combining advanced materials and technologies to deliver exceptional sound quality.


Design and Build


  • Type: The J1 is a belt-drive turntable featuring a sprung chassis, which enhances stability and minimizes vibrations during playback.

  • Platter: The turntable is equipped with an 8 kg platter made from a combination of metacrylate and lead, providing excellent mass and damping characteristics. This design contributes to reduced resonance and improved sound fidelity.

  • Main Bearing: It utilizes an inverted main bearing, which is designed to minimize friction and wear, ensuring smooth rotation of the platter and enhancing overall performance.

  • Motor: The motor is housed in a 3 kg lead block, which serves to isolate it from the chassis, further reducing vibrations that could affect playback quality. The motor is integrated and independent, with electronic speed control for precise adjustments.


Features


  • Electronic Speed Control: The J1 features an integrated electronic control system that allows for precise speed adjustments, ensuring accurate playback at both 33 1/3 RPM and 45 RPM.

  • Suspension System: The turntable employs a double compliance suspension system, which effectively isolates the platter from external vibrations and disturbances, enhancing the clarity of sound reproduction.

  • Power Supply: A separate power supply connected via Neutrik connectors ensures clean power delivery, further minimizing noise interference during operation1.
