Key Technical Features

• Drive System:
  Belt-driven with a high-quality synchronous or DC motor engineered for minimal vibration and consistent speed stability.
  Motor isolation techniques are employed to reduce noise and mechanical interference with the platter.

• Platter:
  Heavy and precisely machined aluminum or composite platter to maximize rotational inertia and minimize wow and flutter.
  Often paired with a high-quality mat to enhance resonance damping.

• Chassis and Plinth:
  Solid, multi-layered plinth construction using vibration-absorbing materials to isolate the turntable from external vibrations.
  Designed for rigidity and mechanical decoupling to improve sound clarity.

• Bearing Assembly:
  Precision-engineered bearing with low friction and high stiffness to ensure smooth platter rotation and reduce noise floor.

• Tonearm Compatibility:
  Compatible with Alphason’s range of tonearms, such as the HR-100S and HR-200S, allowing for precise cartridge alignment and tracking.
  Tonearm mounting systems facilitate easy adjustment and setup.

• Speed Control:
  Electronic speed control with accurate selection between 33 and 45 rpm, including fine-tuning capabilities to maintain pitch stability.
  Some versions may incorporate quartz-locked speed control for enhanced precision.

• Isolation and Feet:
  Equipped with heavy-duty isolation feet or platforms to minimize vibration transmission from the supporting surface.

• Additional Features:
  High-quality wiring and connectors to preserve signal integrity.
  Manual operation with no automatic features, focusing on audiophile-grade playback.
