Additional information

Drive System

High-mass torque without any of the usual "high mass platter" energy storage problems.

Very  light, highly inert platter made from Lexan, which has virtually no  reflective properties nor any resonance storage problems.

Rubber belt driving the platter around its outside rim.

Three immensely powerful motors, whose speed is “locked” together by the master control unit’s digitally synthesised frequency.


This combination provides  a platform with levels of stability and torque which high-mass  turntables can only dream of. When the high mass stored in the motors  provides torque to drive the light, inert platter, the energy is focused  as rotation, nothing else, and the best of both worlds is achieved.


Suspension System


Three-point  suspended design, centred at the bearing, which is also the epicentre  of the motors’ inertia. This completely removes the most common problem  in suspended turntables, where the motors and suspension are misaligned  in relation to each other and as a result, the platter is vacillating  constantly between the centre of the drive system and the centre of the  suspension.


The  sub-chassis is designed with three arms. One has the tonearm in the  standard position on the far right, the other two hold mass balancing  weights, which provide an exact equivalent of the combined arm / cartridge mass, thus loading each suspension tower equally.


Tonearm Choice

The  TT-Three is supplied with the arm board cut for our own "/II' 9"  tonearms. This is the only way we supply the TT-Three, and we do not  offer any other arm  boards to fit the inferior offerings from other manufacturers. Our  tonearms are the perfect choice for the TT-Three, so why use anything  else?
