Additional Details
The DDL-120 is a high-end vintage direct-drive turntable known for its robust build quality and precise speed control.
It features a heavy zinc platter, which provides excellent stability and reduces resonance compared to aluminum platters.
The turntable is designed to support multiple tonearms, allowing users to compare different cartridges and tonearms easily.
The use of ceramic or Teflon bases for the tonearm mounts helps minimize resonance and improve sound quality
