Commentary
A record player system that employs a DC servo motor belt drive system.
The turntable part is equipped with a turntable equivalent to TTS-2400.
The motor is a low-speed DC servo motor with less vibration and noise due to the low speed. The rotation is controlled by the servo to prevent uneven rotation. A polyurethane belt is used to drive the turntable. In addition, a dedicated IC is used for the servo circuit to greatly improve reliability.
31 cm aluminum die-cast is adopted for the turntable, and oilless metal is used for the bearing so that no lubrication is required.
Strobe with large neon tubes is adopted.
The newly developed universal type arm is mounted on the arm part.
It is equipped with functions such as inside force canceler, lateral balancer, arm lifter, 0 balance fine adjustment and arm height adjustment device.
The cartridge is an IM type.
Since an international standard shell is used, the cartridge can be replaced.
The cabinet has a walnut finish and a special shock absorber is built in to absorb external vibrations.
The acrylic dust cover is detachable and has a free-stop design.
