Commentary
A record player that compactly condenses the performance of high-end machines.
A direct drive system is adopted for the drive part.
Quartz lock servo is used in the servo circuit, and by controlling at the interval of light pulse passing through the slit, high-precision rotation without misalignment is realized in the control system. In addition, by using a high torque motor with a torque of 4.5kg-cm for the drive motor, quick operation with a rise time of 0.3 seconds and rotational stability are realized.
A large aluminum die-cast turntable with a diameter of 331 mm is used for the turntable.
The entire back of this turntable is deadened with silicon rubber to improve the howling characteristics. Also, the attached turntable sheet improves the record holding characteristics by analyzing the hologram vibration and is slightly tapered like a mortar.
Equipped with pin-type output terminal, the cable can be changed according to sound quality and cartridge impedance.
By using die-cast parts for each part of the tone arm, the rigidity is increased, and the important parts are treated with deadning.
MM type cartridge with aluminum die-cast head shell is included.
The cabinet is made of MDF material to increase rigidity and improve acoustic feedback by making it compact.
In addition, by adopting a large insulator in the leg part, external vibration is suppressed.
