Commentary
An armless player that can store a magne-float turntable in the case and attach the arm and cartridge of your choice.
The turntable uses a magne-float mechanism based on TN-202.
In the magne-float mechanism, the load on the shaft is reduced by floating the turntable by the repulsive force of the ring magnet, and durability is improved. In addition, the belt uses a polyurethane belt finished by a precision grinder with thickness unevenness of 3/1000mm or less.
Uses a hysteresis synchronous motor with less vibration.
The arm mounting plate is a unit type that can be removed from the top, and the tone arm up to 14 inch can be mounted.
A shell stand for spare cartridges is provided.
The case has a walnut finish.
The height adjustment mechanism and insulator of the case make it easy to put out the horizontal position.
