Additional information
Objectives and Design:
The Thalie turntable was designed with three main objectives: perfect reliability, the best sound quality, and to create a captivating experience.
It is built with a minimal number of parts, each optimized for its specific role.
Mechanical Components:
It features only four rotating mechanical parts: the motor, the pulley, the tray on its axis, and the bearing.
This reduction in mechanical parts contributes to its simplicity, speed stability, and reliability.
Motor and Speed Control:
A synchronous motor is used, eliminating the need for electronic speed control.
The speed control is mechanical, regulated by the electrical network frequency for stability.
Materials and Construction:
The turntable utilizes a heavy granite pedestal weighing 50kg and a 20kg platter to protect against unwanted resonances.
Parts are machined with a tolerance of about one micron, matching the dimensions of vinyl record grooves.
Weight and Dimensions:
The entire unit weighs 80kg.
It has dimensions of 68 x 58 x 29 cm.
Additional Points:
The design aims to extract all the information from the record grooves for perfect sound reproduction.
Jadis emphasizes that the Thalie comes from an artistic activity and not an industrial one.
