    The chassis is designed to minimize vibrations and resonance, contributing to better sound clarity.

  • Tonearm Compatibility:
    Often paired with Alphason’s own tonearms such as the HR-100S or HR-200S, which are precision-engineered arms featuring advanced ceramic bearings and composite construction for low resonance and high tonal neutrality.
    The tonearms are designed to optimize frequency response and provide excellent tracking performance.

  • Weight and Dimensions:
    Specific dimensions and weight are not widely published but consistent with mid-sized audiophile turntables.
